A Firefighter's Party

SOUND THE ALARM!

Slide down the pole

Grab your gear,

We're ready to roll!

That's right...today we celebrated Finley's 2ND birthday with a Firefighter theme!

Setting the Scene!

We decorated the house to make it look like it was on fire!

We were in need of some firefighters to help us put it out!

Finley was so excited about all his party decorations and kept saying Fee fees party!

TOOLS!

He got a few gifts before the party to help him get ready.

A firetruck puzzle for him and his friends to work on and some cute firetruck pjs.

Time to party!

When his friends arrived they played together and also colored some fun pictures of Dalmatians, firefighters, and a fire truck.

Games!

This year we also attempted to play some games with the little ones.

First up was pin the fire hat on the Dalmatian.

No one seemed to want to wear the blind fold. So we just had fun putting the stickers on the poster.

Each child even got two tries to put the hat where it belonged.

Our next firefighter training activity was called animal rescue. Not only do firefighters put out fires, but they also have to know how to find and save animals.

The kids had a blast on a scavenger hunt trying to find all the little animals.

(hopefully this will also help them practice before all the Easter Egg hunts next weekend)

Our final training activity was STOP, DROP, and ROLL!

We put on music for the kids to dance to, and when the music stopped, they had to stop, drop, and roll around on the floor to put out an imaginary fire.

(listening to David explain when and why the kids would need to stop, drop, and roll was hilarious)

We only had a few firefighters complete this training successfully.

THE FOOD!

After all that training and hard work it was time to eat.

I just loved seeing all the children around this little table.

They were so cute all sitting and eating together.

THE CAKE!

This year I had a very talented friend Carissa make Finley's Birthday cake.

I really wanted a firetruck and I was just blown away with what she came up with!

It was perfect!

And Finley was just thrilled!

Thanks again Carissa!

I also made a few 'Dalmatian' cup cakes for the kids to eat.

Finley really enjoyed being sung to this year. He even joined in! As soon as the song ended, he started blowing even though we hadn't made our way over to the cake yet. It was too cute!

The cake not only looked good, but it was delicious too! Yum!

Pretty soon it was time to say goodbye to our friends.

We sent them home with some of Finley's favorite things: firefighter stickers, bubbles, lollipops, play dough, and a fire helmet!

I can't believe my little boy is turning two!

Thank you for all those who came and helped out at the party!

Finley had so much fun!
