Addy turned 2 on Wednesday and Auntie Sandy planned some fun activities to celebrate. She invited Grammy, Andy, Aidan & I along for the adventure.
First, we all put on our mandatory party hats:

Then we boarded the Metra train (it was the kids' 1st time!) and rode a few towns over:

Andy was thrilled to sit by the window:

After exiting the train, we walked to an ice cream parlor and had a special 10 am ice cream treat (b/c after all, you only turn 2 once!):

In lieu of birthday candles, we made wishes on birthday dimes and threw them into a fountain:

While we waited to board the train again, we stood in the station windows and watched a freight train pass by:

After a few hours, it was time to take Winnie the Pooh home for a nap:

Happy Birthday, Addy! You are too cute!
BTW... Tell your mom her Lill purse turned out super cute!
Looks like a fun day!
Joanna over at a "Little Bit O'Seoul" sent me over here to see Aiden since we just brought home our own curly-haired Korean child. Aiden is just adorable, but all of your children are super cute!
(Oh, and I'm totally snagging this train idea... brilliant!)
