Calling All Engines!

So I've been known to go a little overboard when it comes to Adam's birthday parties. I spend entirely too much time on the invitations, decorations and special touches, but gosh, themes are so fun! Last year we did an airplane theme and transformed the house into an airport. This year, it was all about fire trucks since Adam loves them.

{Apparel}

Perfect Shirt from Aunt Kim for the occasion, made by Sassy Little Stitches
(Jake's is from our friend Laura)

Black sweatsuit + yellow duck tape = instant fireman costume!

{The Goody Bags}

Special thanks to Chief Holloway in Concord, NC for the party hats, stickers and coloring books!

{The Grub}

Can proudly say I made the cake myself with help from sister Kim

2 cake flavors, 3 loaf pan cakes, 4 cookies, 9 Dots gum drops, 1 toy ladder.. voila!

{The Party}

All cousins!

{The Surprise}

The absolute highlight of the day was completely unplanned. After noticing a firetruck in the neighborhood, Michael flagged them down and they came by for a quick visit and let us climb on their truck. So cool! 

Special thanks to the guys from Station 73!

Frankly it's going to be hard to top this at future parties! 

And this week we'll be stopping by the fire house

to drop off some goodies as a very big THANK YOU.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Adam!
