As the kids arrived, we had coloring sheets at the table. They also made their own firetruck to eat. Put red frosting on a graham cracker, add Oreos with an M&M in the middle for the tires. Then add pretzels to make a ladder, Hot Tamales for the lights on top, and a Cheez-It for the windshield.
We enjoyed red and yellow snacks including licorice, red M&Ms, Cheez-Its, strawberries and pineapple.
Dan drew a firehouse picture and the kids parked the firetrucks in the garages.
A group shot of the firefighters before going on a firetruck hunt. A friend found the firefighter jackets on sale the day after Thanksgiving, my dad cut an old hose into short sections, and I found firefighter hats at Dollar Tree.
Between Dollar Tree and Target I was able to find enough small firetrucks and police cars for each child. Dan hid them downstairs and we hunted for them.

Sylvia received many wonderful gifts from her friends, Elizabeth, Grayson, Adrian, Parker, Isabella and Karuna.
After searching for images of firetruck birthday cakes, I opted for the easier route and made cupcakes. It was nice and simple for a group of 3 and 4 year olds.
Although very pregnant, it was well worth it to have a fun friend birthday party for my little girl.
