Choo Choo ... Tait is Two (part 1)

On the weekend before his birthday we threw him a little party to a theme inspired by his constant exclamation "choo choo Muma!!! choo choo!!!" whenever he sees a train, or a railroad crossing sign, or railroad tracks or even the lines above the 'MAX' track that runs down the freeway we drive along most often.

Because I know some of you are interested in all the little details ... here are the pictures I got of the activities for the kids.
