All Aboard Sam's Party Train

We celebrated sweet Sam's 3rd birthday with, what else, a Thomas party!  Our parties continue to get simpler and simpler as I realize my children want fun invitations, family and friends, cupcakes, and balloons...and probably some presents too.  We had a house full of family and friends and had such a fun day celebrating Sam.  We did presents once everyone arrived, then sang Happy Birthday and enjoy cupcakes and other treats.  Our playroom the favorite spot of kids who visit, so they headed upstairs after eating.  Everyone played so nicely while the grownups visited downstairs.  Our only hiccup was that we forgot to put the dry erase markers on the easel away.  Two kids left covered in marker, but thankfully my carpet and walls sustained no damage.  It was such a fun afternoon celebrating Sam and his most favorite train.
