Asher's big birthday present from us, and most of his grandparents, was a train table. He has had a love of trains for quite some time now and it's always hard to pry him away from any of his friends train tables. We decided this was just the gift for him, and thankfully, with some help, we were able to make it happen.
Greg and I spent about 2.5 hours Thursday night putting this together and unveiled it to Asher Friday night during his family pizza birthday party. Here is a short video of him seeing it for the first time.
If you listen and hear him talking about a train on the way down the stairs, it's the train he had just opened and is in his hand as he comes down. He really had NO idea about the table; we did a good job at keeping that part a secret!
His reaction is funny to me, and maybe just what to expect from a toddler. You can definitely tell he's excited about it, but that became even more obvious over the weekend. We could NOT get Asher away from this thing. He ALWAYS wants to be "downsins" (downstairs) and usually has to bring a train with him when we leave the table. Too cute!
More pictures and details about his parties to come, but for now, enjoy the video!

Wow, now I know what a train table is and understand why it took you so long to put together. That's insane! Very cool gift...
However there is something that impressed me even more in that video. So uh you're quite pregnant there friend. Weird not seeing you throughout this pregnancy :( Miss you!
Deb - thanks! We love trains here :)
Erin - yes, now you know what a train table is. Quite the get-up, huh? And dude, I'm totally pregnant. It's just crazy. Can't wait until your home to enjoy those last few months of pregnancy with me (read: ice cream)
So fun to see the big reveal! I love how Asher just jumps right in and gets started on playing with the trains.
