I kept the party set up simple this year. I ordered a few fireman hats off of amazon. The T is for truck picture was hanging in Patrick's first big boy room, so I pulled that out from the basement. I also reused the buildings from Patrick and Peyton's superhero party years ago. I made some flames out of tissue paper and hung those above the buildings to make it look like the buildings were on fire.
I always order the boys a book for their birthday and write a little message in it, so I ordered a fire truck little golden book for Conor.
We had 3 basketball games that morning, so I decided to pick up firehouse subs for the main course. Sharon brought some fruit and "little smokies" or pigs in a blanket. I also put out some cheetos and doritos "fire flames" and some pretzel sticks for "matchsticks." For dessert, we had oreos or "fire truck wheels" and then some chocolate fire truck suckers I made. We also had danimals, since they are Conor's favorite snack.
Super simple menu, but it worked great!
These cute little fire truck boots were on clearance at Target. I thought they would be cute as the centerpieces
The party favors were little fire trucks and chocolate fire trucks suckers.
Conor does not like cake, so we decided to do a cookie cake this year. I thought it was huge when I was picking it up, but it was all gone after the party so I think it was a big hit!
The fire truck arrived a few minutes before the party started. Conor was the first one to test it out.
I was a little nervous he would be scared of the fire truck, but he absolutely LOVED it. He was beaming the entire time!

Climbing on top of the fire truck
So many of Conor's friends came. I was so excited for everyone to celebrate our sweet boy!
Cute classmates
The fire truck took about 10 drives around the neighborhood. Conor was so excited to be up front and ring the siren. I'm sure the neighbors really appreciated us!
Peyton got his turn to ride in the front
Time for cake!
Love this precious boy!
Love Conor's expressions in these pictures
He was worn out after such a fun party!
Conor you are such a joy to this family. You can light up a room with your beautiful smile! We love you so much buddy!
