I have to admit that if it was up to Paxton his 3rd Birthday would have been a Transformer party. Which honestly probably would have been just as fun. He had told us for his party he wanted his friends to come over to his house to play, and he wanted a cake. We thought up the idea of a fire truck party based on the fact that there is a lot less violence involved with fire trucks. He was pretty easy to persuade. It turned out to be a huge success. Tylor did all the hard work, he convinced the Anchorage Fire Department to let us bring the kids up there and see the trucks and he cleaned and decorated the house! What an awesome Daddy! So we started out at the fire station. I never knew that Fire Trucks could captivate a group of 3-4 year olds. They were in awe, and SO well behaved. Our tour guide did an awesome job keeping their attention. They got to play with fire hydrants, see the sirens, watch the crew dress in their gear and go off on a real emergency, play inside the fire truck, and best of all, squirt a real live fire hose. It was awesome. Oh and watch a whole group of fire fighters slide down the fireman pole. What an awesome birthday. I love watching Paxton's face. He was so interested and so excited to be there. I have no idea how we will top this one. Here are a few pictures. I took over 75 photos while we were there. It was a little much. But again such an amazing time. I loved that everyone came out to wish our little man a happy 3rd year of life.
I have to appologize for all of these pictures of Paxton shooting the hose. I just love love his expression in each of the photo's. It was the highlight of his birthday.
I just love how they are all holding hands. These are the sweetest bunch of kiddos.
