Party was a BIG hit!

Rebekah had an amazing time at her birthday party on Saturday! She had 8 friends show up. We had lime-sherbet punch, chips and dip, a veggie tray, powdered doughnuts, and a fruit salad. We had plenty and everyone ate as much as they wanted. After eating, the girls played a game of capture the flag and then did the pinata. The pinata was a lot of fun. It was a unicorn and on the second hit the body detached itself from the head. Mike had to restring in up in the tree since the body was where the candy was. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. The girls even put together a bag of candy for one of Rebekah's friends who couldn't be there because of sickness. They were very sweet about it.
After the pinata we played Pixie, Pixie, Dust (Duck, Duck, Goose). They played this many times before they got tired of it. Next we played a game of Freeze. This is where everyone dances to the music and then freezes when the music stops. We played this game several times as well. Lastly we played a game of Musical Crowns. Instead of using chairs we placed fairy crowns on the ground and marched to music around them. When everyone go tired of playing games we came in for cake, ice cream and presents. Rebekah picked a beautiful Tinker Bell cake with sparkler candles. He friends were very generous to her with their gifts. I think her favorite gift was a beading kit and her most thoughtful gift was a bouquet of daffodil's. After all of this we got comfortable and watched the new Barbie movie and ate popcorn balls. In all I think it was a great party and everyone had a very nice time.

Elizabeth will be doing the International Dinner tomorrow. I will write all about it next time.

Oh and last but not least is Rachel's new trick. She loves to SCREAM at the top of her lungs. Oh I hope she outgrows this one soon. It is very nerve racking!

I am off to bed now since we have an early morning tomorrow.
In Him,
Christina
