Austin's 4 Alarm Birthday Party!

We had a SMOKIN' GOOD TIME yesterday as we celebrated Austin's 4th birthday!  I was so impressed with the firemen at Frisco Fire Station #4 here in Frisco as they taught the kids about fire safety.  They were so informative and the kids loved the tour of the station!  We even talked to the Care Flight crew, asked questions about the helicopter, and saw the helicopter take off to help someone in need.  Austin loved every minute of his party, 
and we were so glad so many could join us to help celebrate.  

Happy birthday to my spunky little man, Austin!  We love you so very much!

They provided all the kiddos with great yellow fire hats and Fire Chief stickers......
.....candy always makes me smile bigger!
 The table is set and ready!  The party is right in the same kitchen the firemen use.

 "I just LOVE parties!" says Big E

 Who's that cute little fire fighter?!!
 Zach was the first to arrive
 I think these two could reeeeaallly get into some trouble!

 The firemen sat everyone down once they arrived and talked about fire safety.

My nephew Max paid very close attention....
 Eli and his Daddy
 One of the firemen put on each part of his fire fighting gear while the other fireman explained what each part did to protect him.  
....he even put on his oxygen tank and mask to show the kids what they looked like in full gear.  This helped to ensure the kids would be familiar with a fireman's appearance in case of a true fire emergency
...so they wouldn't be afraid.

 Max says "CHEEEEESE!!!"
 Mmmmm.....pizza!
 I love this photo....someone is VERY excited about his cake!.....
 "Happy birthday to Austin, happy birthday to YOU!" 
 Can you believe I called around to SEVEN different cake ladies and no one could help?!!  
Target bakery to the rescue!  Turned out really cute and tasted great!  
 As we were finishing cake, the firemen came in and said the Care Flight helicopter was leaving for a rescue flight!  So, we quickly went outside to watch them take off.....






 Once we got home, this little guy couldn't wait to open his gifts!....

Austin had a blast and I can hardly believe my little love bug is already FOUR!
