3 Year Birthday: Firetruck Party!

I have to say first and foremost. I found an awesome blog with printables for my son's firetruck themed party! This made my life SO much easier. :)  How To Nest For Less has the files all ready to be edited. And if you don't want to personalize them, you don't have to! I edited mine in PicMonkey and I think they turned out pretty nice.  :)

Fire Extinguishers 

We needed these for an outside party in mid-Summer! 

Firefighter Food

(White cake and devils food cake with peppermint frosting).

Party Favors

There wasn't much as far as decor due to the wind which I was slightly bummed about. We just couldn't keep the dang streamers up!

Here is an example of one of the printables that I edited. Very easy to do.

 We had the party in a park near our house so that we could have some room to play with water balloons and squirt guns! These guys had a blast!

Paper Family Tree

       I didn't come up with this idea. Actually, one of my friends made something similar to this at one of those JoAnne classes. I altered the idea a little bit to my taste.

       I added the "Sperry" sign. I thought it looked a little plain without it. Everything was cut out using my Silhouette. On the last couple layers of leaves I added Glue Dots to give the leaves more depth. The names are actually just hand written with a Sharpie Pen, that way I can add more kids names easily.
