The main attraction: A 3D train cake. The little man is , well, should we say, obssessed, with trains and I couldn't think of a better way to bring delight to his little life than make him his very own birthday cake made in the shape and design of a real train. It was a sight to see.
When it came time to cut it, I wasn't in the least bit sad. Actually I was glad to be done with it. I had been working on it, or staring at it taking up too much of my kitchen counter space for too many days. People took dibs on different parts they wanted....oreos, tootsie rolls, gum drops, etc.
Here are pictures of two of Riley's most favorite people: Rachel and Christian Gent. Ever since he first met them he's had a fond affection for them both. Maybe it's because Christian speaks his "let's get dirty, go exploring, and play with trucks" language and Rachel likes to show him around to everything and pick him up like he's her little brother. I couldn't have picked better friends for him myself.

Wow, Tracy! That cake deserves a prize, what a masterpiece. Sorry we couldn't make it - it kind of turned into a weird day for us. Looks like the big boy had a great time!
Ah man, I wish we could have made it to Riley's party! We were so sick (well, I was so sick, the kids just had colds). Love the cake. Charlie would have flipped over backwards!

That cake was an amazing creation Tracy! Riley will have that sweet memory for years to come, how cool is that. Thanks for inviting us to the party! Can't wait to have the boys play trains together, (and you and I can sew. :)
Tracy, you are a mom after my own heart! Riley is blessed with a mom who dearly loves him and makes his life special. God's blessing on you all.
