Choo-Choo I’m Two!

September 27, 2018 by 19 Comments

choo choo I'm two children's birthday party

My sister-in-law Anne has been at it again. Her son is about to turn two years old, and she planned another extremely creative, themed children’s birthday party for family and close friends. We weren’t able to attend, but she sent photos, and I thought they were just too clever not to share. The theme was trucks and trains–“Choo-Choo I’m Two.”

For every birthday, she uses a chalkboard to write down some of child’s favorite things and recent milestones.

Table decorations were fairly simple for this party, since the birthday boy already has tons of trucks and trains.

As a keepsake, guests signed their names and wrote notes and memories in a The Little Engine That Could book.

For snacks, Anne served fruit, veggies, and munchies in aluminum platters made to look like train cars, as well as stop light brownies. To drink, she had diesel oil (apple cider) and a “water tower.”

For those who aren’t familiar with Anne’s party planning prowess, below are links to photos from her past parties. I also just realized that I never posted pictures of the Little House on the Prairie party that she threw for my niece’s fourth birthday party.

    Yes! Please! We want to see the little house on the prairie party now! She sure has a gift for anything party related. Train party was so cute. So creative. The speed limit sign was tops. How does she think up all that!?

      She does have a gift, doesn’t she? Some of the ideas are from Pinterest, but it still takes a lot of creativity to pull them off as well as she does.

    I love the simplicity and the incredible creativity of her decorations and food layout. We are a train loving family so her theme would be a big hit with us.

    Thank you to Ann and to you, Ellie, for sharing these pictures and descriptions. What a fun birthday party she made! I grew up living in a train station because my dad was an agent. So a theme like this has a special place in my heart.

    Enjoy it while you can. When kids turn 16, they won’t want a choo-choo party. They’ll want a car keys party, with the vehicle those keys belong to out in the driveway with a big bow on top. And much older kids, say age 60 or so, won’t want a board announcing how many teeth they still have…

    What an adorable theme! Your sister-in-law is creative, the small details really made the party come together. Her son is a very smart little boy too (per the chalkboard).

    Your sister-in-law is very creative, your nephew must have had a wonderfull time! Just realize that our daugther is about the same age he is (she was born 09/23, 2 years ago).

    I would love to see photo’s from the Little House on the Prairie themed party! Please post them if you want:)

    Greetings,
    Sanne

      How fun that they are the same age! What recent milestones has your daughter been hitting? Our nephew isn’t speaking in full sentences yet, but he loves repeating little phrases. For his birthday, he got a ride-on car, and he ran around all day saying, “new blue car!” Definitely a fun age.

      I will post the Little House party photos soon. πŸ™‚
