Happy Birthday Jesus

We had our 4th annual Happy Birthday Jesus Party at the Matthew's new home. The first 2 years we had a play date party during the day, but the last few years we have made it a family event. I love when our entire families do things together. We brought our 6 pack to the party and they were pretty well behaved for the most part. Thank goodness for friends who like to hold babies :) The big kiddos ate chili, taco soup, and cornbread in the garage. What a great idea! I am seriously considering turning one of our attached garages into a padded room playroom. Our kiddos play so well together. I feel blessed that my friends and my children's friends are apart of the same family.

Angela made stables and provided stickers for the kiddos. She read the story of baby jesus' birth while the kids put stickers in the stable as each character was mentioned. The kids enjoyed making their manger scene. Harper was cracking me up because he said it wasn't a manger it was a "food trough!" So true, I guess he learned the specifics at school!

Later on in the week Angela took Harper, Gentry, and Jake to deliver fruit baskets to some shut-ins from our church. The kids sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and delivered fruit and sweet smiles to some elderly folks. Now,  that is what Christmas is truly about.
