back on the birthday party circuit

This weekend we celebrated Colin's friend Trey's 1st birthday! Though their mommies see each other every day, and have been plotting their close friendship for nearly two years now, the fact that both moms are lawyers and now live in different towns means a whole year has passed before they even met! Regardless, T and C were fast friends and immediately set to trying to find trouble together. Just like their moms. Ha.

(I don't know what they're doing here, but it looks like trouble).

Colin also became fast friends with Trey's four year old cousin, who shared his love of trains and getting in trouble. Here is a rare down moment where they decided to nap on the stairs.

several caravans of trains were seen during the party.

Posing with the train he just stole from another kid (this was a recurring theme).

He paused briefly for some cake. Doesn't dad look good in a yo gabba gabba party hat?

all of their present-opening pictures are going to feature colin streaking through in the background.

... or trying to "help" Trey open his gifts.

another train caravan begins!

We'll pretend this is just a touching "happy birthday" gesture between two friends. And not at all my kid slapping the birthday boy's hand and saying "mine!" while sitting on a toy that is decidedly not his. Toddlerhood.

Despite a few minor squabbles, it was great to finally get to see the boys playing together. And Colin had a blast - the whole way home he kept randomly yelling "Fun! Party!"

happy birthday Trey!
