The Laws of My Life: Firehouse

My twin boys, JAKE and JACK,

turned three this year!!

The boys LOVE playing in their "FIREHOUSE"

(aka, playroom) so I thought FIRE TRUCKS

would be the perfect theme!

I booked all the necessary vendors:

1) The bounce house company, Sooner Bounce

2) The local firehouse, Deer Creek Fire

and

3) The local dalmatian shelter, Rocky Spot Rescue

It was the perfect recipe for a little boy's

THIRD BIRTHDAY PARTY!

It was just as fun to plan as it was to celebrate!

Check it out..

Introducing,

MY BIRTHDAY BOYS

Junior Fire Chief, Jake

and his younger brother by 2 minutes,

Junior Fire Chief, Jack

*My husband always gives me the "evil eye" at parties when I grab
the cookies before it is time! I made sure to let my guests know
that at my party, that is A-OK!!*

THE *AMAZING* CAKE

I loved this cake!

It was two tiered with strawberry (at Jake's request) on top

and butter white on bottom (at Jack's request)!

It was baked and decorated by a local OKC baker, Tina Stepp.

THE GOODNESS JUST OOZES FROM THESE!

TABLES & DECOR

I topped off the adult cocktail tables with a fire chief boot from Hobby Lobby,

tags and pictures of the birthday boys!

THE KIDS TABLE!!

The kids table was set for 24!

Each place setting included a lunch and dessert plate,

a red or orange juice box, and bottled water, along with,

a fire chief badge, hat and coloring book from the OKC fire department!

Kids were served hot dogs and chips and the adults were served BBQ from Earl's and sides!

This hydrant is actually full of dog toys! I found it at Walgreen's in the pet care section!
It fit perfectly into the decor and also served as a take-away for the dalmatians!

Flowers from Wal-Mart anad Fire Truck decor from Hobby Lobby!

FIRE TRUCK BOXES

I took old diaper boxes and transformed them into Fire Trucks for the little ones to play around in!

ROCKY SPOT RESCUE

We were so **blessed** the have the company of Rocky Spot Rescue at J&J's birthday party!
What an AMAZING organization they are! They are doing so much for the Dalmatian community in OKC. We held a small donation collection for them at the party entrance, "Toys for Dots!" They are in need of time and doggie essentials! If you would like to donate to their organization, whether in the form of money, time, a donated vehicle, or supplies, help right now and donate online!!

DEER CREEK FIRE

(*Jake in AW*)

We were equally as **blessed** to have the Deer Creek Fire crew out to J&J's party as well!
How amazing to have a real fire truck in front of your house! (...and not for a real emergency!)
They were gracious enough to open all the doors and compartments and let 24 toddlers peak around! They even pulled out their gear for the little ones to try on!
AMAZING!
What a wonderful community we live in!

Also, our wonderful neighbor, David Bradbury, is an OKC Fire Chief and came out to
meet and greet with the little ones too! He brought each guest a coloring book from his station!

The boys had such an amazing time with all the fire fighters, doggies and friends!
What lucky little boys!

CAKE TIME

Happy Birthday to you....

How did three years come and go so fast!

(It wasn't easy...but it did fly by!)

The boys were so lucky to have so many close friends

in attendance for their big #3 candle blowout!!

GIFT TIME

Jack feel asleep before the party was even "officially" over! When you spend 2 hours bouncing, climbing, running and eating GOBS of sugar, one is bound to pass out!! So when the boys woke, we immediately dug into the lute! What fun! Even baby brother Jameson enjoyed the unwrapping!

BONUS PIC!
I just loved this picture of Jack running with his bestie, Aubrey!
It looks like there should be some kind of triumph/love song music playing in the background!
So sweet!
