Happy Birthday Jesus

Our little Luci is about as social as they come.  She asks just about every day to have a friend come over and play.  We have promised her for a while that she could have some friends over during Christmas break.  I decided this week to live dangerously and invite all of the friends over together at the same time.  Ryan and I thought it would be neat to have a birthday party for Jesus.  Fifteen of Luci and Londyn’s cousins and friends came over and we celebrated the true reason for the season. The kids had a blast (and I’m pretty sure the adults did also:)!  We played games, made ornaments, ate birthday cake, and Santa even stopped by to tell the kids why Jesus is greatest Christmas gift ever.

    Looks like a fun time—and an especially a good way to teach the kids the real reason for the season! Merry Christmas!

    Thank you so much for sharing! I really think that the Birthday Party for Jesus is a great idea. I’m going to use that for my kids and youth group this coming year!
