Birthday Party #2--200+kids

That afternoon we went to the local neighbor kids and had a huge party--not really for Elijah, but it was his birthday. Look at my parents--aren't they great!

Tons of kids and neighbors came (this is the same neighborhood where all the house projects below were completed). This is the place we are investing time and love in, so it was a great opportunity to share God's love and fun games with them.

Nate was a great sport with my Mom's slide whistle. The kids were amazed and had never seen it before.

Look at the smiles! My mom has some great ideas. You don't even need language for this one.

Elijah's greatest birthday moment was going in the parachute and having the kids sing HBTY to him as he climbed around. He's clapping with joy here.

This is one of my favorite moments--my dad helping out so much at the party. He was such a servant that day!

My husband and my dad--working together to serve. They are having tons of people line up as they hand 300 snacks out to people (loaded up in 4 big suitcases). What a party!
