Birthday Party

Our church's teenage youth group has a "Happy Birthday Jesus!" party for the younger kids every year. The boys love it and were excited that Cameron & Porter, neighbor friends, were able to come with us.

After eating pizza, they get to make crafts set up at different tables. The first craft is always decorating a sack to put all of the "loot" in.

After crafts, they were read a Christmas story and then opened presents "for Jesus." Every kid brings a baby gift to the party and then they each get one to open and give to "Jesus" (local babies who are in need). They have kids dress up as Mary & Joseph with a baby and the kids take their gifts to them. It is very cute - but got a little crazy this year.

They end the party by decorating sugar cookies. Never too much frosting or sprinkles! :)
