Michael's Fourth Birthday

Recently, we had Michael's fourth birthday party. After much discussion, he settled on a Firefighter's birthday party. The whole week before, Jason worked away on building an awesome firetruck out of a cardboard box. When the kids arrived they all played in the pretend firetruck and made siren noises for the camera. They then played "Pin the Dalmation on the Firetruck", a musical Stop, Drop and Roll game, a fire truck search game in the backyard, and a big obstacle course in the backyard complete with rescuing an animal off a ladder, dragging a hose and putting out a fire (dumping water on a lit candle). The kids then came in for fire juice (red juice drunk with a straw) and fire truck cake. For some reason, the fire juice was big hit with all the kids. Michael loved all the attention though you wouldn't have been able to tell from looking at him most of the party. Apparently, a party is a very serious thing to him. It was a great group of kids and made me thankful for all the good little friends my little boy has.

It sounds like the most awesome firefighters birthday party ever!! Michael looked totally happy with everything. I thought your cake was an actually firetruck...you did an awesome job. Michael is so fortunate to have a Mommy and Daddy who makes wishes come true! Good job! Wish I could have been there!
