Birthday Par-tay

Remember this post and how I said a little boy was going to be very happy about the birthday party gift certificate?  Well, we finally were able to redeem it yesterday after months of anticipation and it was well worth the wait. :)  Yesterday was Jackson's birthday and we set out to make the day as special as possible.  Here's a recap!

He started off the day with a visit from two of his favorite people, Steve & Lindsay.  They stopped by to bring him a gift and special birthday hugs.

Then it was on to opening up gifts from us.  His big gift was a CARS 2 scooter.... hope the smoke clears so we can get outside and try it out!

Jacks played with his toys while we got ready for his birthday party at the fire station.  It was scheduled from 10am to noon so we had to get going by 9:30am.  All I can say is that they WAY exceeded my expectations.  Fireman Jay, who ran the party, was fantastic.  He had so much patience with the kids and was great at explaining everything.  I feel so blessed that we had the opportunity to have his party there. We have some really neat people in our community.

Fire station tour...

I think Grandpa Steve liked the tour more than the kids :)

On to cake and ice cream....

 

After cake and ice cream was a magic show...

And finally presents...
