Little Casey's second birthday was crazy fun. He had a Jupiter jump that was a tiger to fit with the circus theme that Jennifer the wonderful party planner came up with. He was really into JoJo's circus, the cartoon show, so it was perfect. Jennifer appointed us to make a circus train that the kids could ride in. Thanks to Chrissie's dad, we succeeded amazingly well in making something practical and cool looking. Chrissie found pictures of Casey Jr. the circus train from Dumbo and used it as a model. With pvc bars and stuffed animals, and a cool face, it really looks like the Disney train, and the kids loved riding in it and pulling other around as well. Even Chrissie's Mom took a ride on the Casey III Circus Train. For his present, Chrissie made a JoJo doll, because they actually aren't available to sell. She was so happy that he could actually recognize who it was supposed to be! She made that with the help of her mom's expansive project supply stash. At the end of the party, Eric filled Little Casey's new tractor bed with Diane's papers that he'd shredded into confetti. Little Casey loved scooping it up with his garden tools and putting it in his tractor. Everyone had fun, especially since Mimi got to attend.
