Beckett 4th Birthday Party

We started the year off right with celebrating Beckett's 4th birthday. We did celebrate as a family on his day but wanted to make sure to give him a party. We had invited all his preschool class but only one kid showed up (and we didn't even know he was coming)...and we also invited one little boy from his Awana class. We decided not to have a luncheon this year due to having one just two weeks earlier for Finley's dedication so we had cake and ice cream and snacky type foods.

The theme was firetrucks. He loves them. He got some cool new ones for Christmas and they have been some of his favorite go too toys. I took him to the Party store to pick out whatever invitations he wanted and this is what he chose.

Aren't the cute? So we got the whole get up for him. I was a little upset that no one was coming but then kinda relieved since I had never had a birthday party at home and wasn't at all prepared. He seemed to have a great time with his two little buddies, the neighbor kids and his favorite cousins, Sam and Mila. 

His cake was awesome. I asked the ladies at Kroger if they could do a firetruck out of cupcakes. She said she wasn't sure but would try really hard. Hard she did. The cake was too cute for words and we ordered just enough.

After the cake, we let the kids play for a little bit longer and then called them up to open gifts. Beckett was very excited and got a lot of very cool toys. (Note to self...thank you cards need to be completed and sent out). UGH... Thank you to Brian who took the pictures so that I could enjoy these moments with my son!
