3rd Birthday Party!

Brinley's 3rd birthday part was such an amazing time that it needs it's own dedicated post. It was her first "friends" party and we had it at Daddy's fire station. She started saying that she wanted a firefighter birthday party months ago and I think this made her dreams come true. :)

I was traveling to London and Switzerland the weeks before and in fact just got home on Thursday, June 9th before we hosted this party on Saturday, so huge props to my mom for coming to help as well as ordering all of the cute stuff for the treat bags. No one left empty-handed, that's for sure!

So many of her daycare friends and our friends kids game. Even Sparky the dog made an appearance. It was a great event!

These pictures should be on a Christmas card. How cute are all of these kiddos sitting on the front of that truck!

Having some "down time" before the party begins

She's excited though!

So fun to have Clara and Dana in town! They were here for Grace's grad party and we took advantage and scheduled B's party for that same weekend so they could attend. Brinley loves her cousins so much. She calls them her brothers and sisters :)

Wow was this stuff hot! And look at that hot fire fighter next to me? We are so proud of Matt and his service to the fire derpartment. Love him!

Sparky was a big hit. Especially with these two.

Now that is the point in the party where I let Clara take pictures with our camera. So all pictures from here on out have a grease spot on them from pizza fingers getting near the lens. :) What a memory!  

Nothing like a meltdown in the middle of your party! Oh wait, it's my party and I can cry if I want to, right? Love Ms. Raquel's expression in the background. She watches Brinley Mon-Wed and knows exactly what is happening here. :)

Mommy and Brinley talked it out. We are all better now...

Post-meltdown silly face

Love this picture of Nana and B!

My little nut

She drives me crazy sometimes but boy, does she have my heart!
