Birthday morning!

September 3, 2014

When you’re 4, the birthday festivities start as soon as you get up in the morning!  No waiting until dinner to celebrate, that’s for sure!  Maxwell was surprised with presents, balloons and cake all before 8am!

He got so many great presents from sweet family! He’s well outfitted now with a Mickey Mouse watch, a fireman raincoat and new fireman pi’s! We also got him a new Playmobil firetruck, ambulance and police car.  They’re pretty neat with all sort of little itty bitty pieces and he looooved them!

He also got a new bike! with an orange bell too!  woohoo!

He was excited about the bike but said he’d ride it “tomorrow”!  🙂  He was much more excited to go play with his new rescue vehicles!

We then sang Happy Birthday, blew out the candles and had cake for breakfast!

Official Uniform

September 2, 2014

Welcome back! Hope you all had a great long weekend. We had a fantastic one celebrating our new 4 year old!! Now to recap it all starting with his first big present from Susan on Thursday of last week. Susan knows how to make Maxwell happy, that’s for sure!  She brought over this giant orange present and he was about to burst having to wait to open it.

She finally agreed and he tore into it…

and found another box! Mrs. Susan’s tricky like that!  🙂

Then he finally got to the good stuff and what did he find?

4th bday

Only the BEST and most official fireman uniform ever!!!

He has worn it every single day since and could not love it more.  Especially the whistle that came with it…let’s just say Momma could maybe stand to “accidentally lose” the whistle!  🙂

Maxwell nicely suggested that since he now has a “real” fireman uniform, Spencer could dress up in his old one. When Spencer realized big brother was letting him wear the red fireman coat, he almost burst he was so proud.  He couldn’t believe it honestly.  And now he’s had that red coat on every day since too!

Thank you for the awesome present, Mrs. Susan!
