Recently, Connor has been saying he wants to be a garbage man AND a fireman when he grows up. Because I didn't think having a birthday party at the dump would be a good idea, we celebrated at the local fire station. It was AWESOME!!
Here's the birthday boy on the morning of his party.
Getting everything set up.
We had a long table and at each child's seat we had a fireman's hat with their name on it, a water bottle with a fireman label, a red bag with their name on it for the pinata candy, a fire safety coloring book and a craft project. The coloring books and craft projects were compliments of Livingston VFD!
Matches (pretzels dipped in red almond bark)
Fire Truck Wheels (chocolate donuts)
We made chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing.
The pinata from Paw Paw
The firetruck cake Mimi and I made.
It was a low-rider type fire truck
Though it wasn't our best cake, it still turned out pretty cute with all the details.
Firehouse Veggies & Fire Dogs (pigs in a blanket)
Flaming Fire Hoses (twizzlers)
Fire Extinguishers (water bottles)
The craft project

Addy and Ava drove down from Keller just for the day!
The fireman showed the kids inside the firetruck and told them all about it.
Time to hit the pinata
Uncle Jason came down from Big D to join in the celebration!
Love my little firemen!
Getting ready to sing "Happy Birthday"
Blowing out the candles
Connor's FIVE!!
The Firemen talked all about fire safety and gave the kids a complete tour of the outside and inside of the truck.
They even demonstrated what it was like to put on their full gear (and it was SO hot on this day!!)
They do this so that the kids won't be scared should they see a fire fighter in an emergency.
Time to open gifts. He received several legos, books, leap pad games, pool/water toys and $ for him to pick out whatever he wanted. (He loves that!!)

Happy 5th Birthday Fireman Connor!
