fireman third birthday

I really tried to be more minimal and memorable this year. It's more important for the party to be practical, enjoyable, and memorable, than super cute. I did pretty well!

We had such fun preparing and celebrating, and with a lot less stress, more fun, and Jordan still plays with most of the things I decorated with - figurines, crayons, fire trucks, his costume, blow up hydrant is getting a lot of use lately, too :) All the graphics (banner, cupcake toppers, his shirt) I made and printed from a graphic set on sale for $1! Thanks to Amazon for almost everything else.

Streamers and balloons to wake up to on his birthday.

Sweet joy! And his cute iron-on shirt I made him!

So grateful to our friend Nate for dressing in his firefighter gear for the party!

The joy of grandparents... Jordan's glee-filled grin takes the cake!
