When Blake turned two, I had read in a Parents Magazine about a birthday party where the firetruck came and the kids got to climb on it! I called the fire department and asked them if they would do a party. They said yes and it was one of the best parties we had. When Brett turned two, so many things were going on with Dad that I wasn't even sure if I would have a big party for him. Unfortunately, when you have an older child that had the parties, you feel guilty if you do not live up to it with the youngest one. So......I called the Effingham Fire Department to see if they would be interested in having a party. About a week later, the chief called me back and said that he would love to do a party for us. Keep in mind that these are VOLUNTEER firefighters and they did not have to do this. Brett was so excited and all of the children waited patiently with their fire hats for the party to begin!
Karen Bradley from cakebelieve.net made this AWESOME cake!!!
At promptly 10:15, the firetruck came aroun the corner!!!
These firemen spent so much time with us, explaining fire safety and the tools that they use!
Then, they broke out the fire hose!!!!!!!!!! Each one of them was able to hold the hose and squirt the kids that were playing. They had a BLAST (literally)!!!!!
Brett got cold after Blake ran him through the water.
Brett's favorite part...blowing out the candles again and again and again!!!
And the best part.....opening the presents!
Thank you to everyone for making Brett's 2nd birthday so special and memorable!!!
