Andrew turned 3!!!

We have had such a fun weekend and birthday for Andrew. This year is his Golden birthday :) He turned three on the third - so we had to go all out for it.

Andrew invited his friends from school and a couple of Mommy and Me friends. We had his party at a Fire Station in town. Owen grew up with the Fire Chief so we were able to have the party there. It was perfect.

Here are some pictures of the big party day :)

This is one preview of the decorations. I didn't do a good job capturing all the details.

"Thanks for Coming" Love Andrew *Andrew handed out these party favors to all of his friends. They are little Sparky and Radar dogs

Sparky/Radar the Dog (Sparky is what the Fire Station calls their mascot and Radar is from Fireman Sam on Sprout) handed each friend a hat when they walked into the party.

After everyone got to the party, Fireman Jason led us to the garage so he could show everyone how the fireman put on their fire suit.

Fireman Jason did a great job with getting the kids attention.

Then they could go up to Fireman Jason and touch and feel his fire suit. The kids were cautious yet very curious.

Daddy and Andrew with the #3 fire hat - it was a very heavy hat

 It was a great party. Andrew was really shy at first. The attention made him nervous. BUT when he got to to get in the truck and "drive it" - he was no longer shy. He perked up and had a fun morning with his friends. I was happy so many of his friends came out to play and celebrate Andrew turning three.

This is the moment when Andrew opened up! He would have stayed in the driver's seat the whole party if he could have

This is morning after his party! He was still loving his party favors. We have 6 left Radar dogs left over and Andrew carries them all over the house. I had to take one while he wasn't looking and put it in Sam's room so Sam could claim one :)

It is hard to believe Andrew is 3 - but when you talk with him or see how his mind is working you know he is every bit a three year old. :) Owen and I are so blessed and lucky to have this little man in our life!
