Daniel's firetruck cake.

We robbed some pieces off of one of Daniel's firetruck toys to decorate the cake.

This is the extra cake we made so there would be enough.

The shield is from the Cayambe Fire Department.

Opening family presents.

Daniel's friends start arriving.

The "pin the lights on the firetruck" game.

The kids played fireman by having a contest to see who could extinguish the candles with their squirt gun the fastest.

Then the biggest surprise of all: The real firemen arrived with lights and sirens!

We had called to ask them to come by, but weren't sure that they would, so we kept it a surprise.

They loaded up the kids and took them for a ride around the neighborhood.

Daniel checking everything out.

Getting the pump ready.

Each kid got to spray water with the hose.

All the firemen came in for a visit and some hamburgers.

Opening presents. Daniel had a lot of helpers.
