A Polar Express Party

Aiden will turn 1 on December 30th, but due to the time of year, we decided to celebrate his birthday early with a Polar Express Party! Aunt Kelli and I transformed Memaw's house into the North Pole complete with homemade snowflakes and fake snowballs. Comet's Cinema featured The Polar Express, Blitzen's Bakery had Christmas sugar cookies ready for decoration, Santa's Workshop had elves making Christmas ornaments, Dasher's Diner served chili, hot dogs, snowball puffs (white Cheetos), and cake, while Santa's Hideout (a tent and tunnel we gave Aiden for his birthday) was a hit with all the kids dressed up in their pajamas. To top off the night, we took two truck loads of party guests around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights then came home to hot chocolate and birthday cake! Aiden loved having his own personal cake and looked like a smurf when he was done with it! What an evening! It was so much fun to see all of our friends and family gather together to celebrate Aiden's first birthday. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy of Aiden's first journey on The Polar Express!
