Birthday Party for Jesus

Our friends, The Hall Family, invited us over for their annual Birthday Party for Jesus. There were games, crafts, snacks and fun- but the best part was when the kids gathered around and listened to the story of Jesus' birth (read by Pastor Hall). As you will see below, they also got to participate. The day before we were given a bag of white model magic. Each child was assigned one or two characters from the story and had to make them. As the story was read aloud, the children took their character and set it on the table (where the stable was). We were tasked to make baby in manger, donkey, Angel of the Lord and a farm animal. The boys did two and I did too- I was quite impressed. 
 Didn't you know that chocolate cake is Jesus' favorite?
 Waiting for the story to begin
 All the kids around their creations!
 Look at how precious these turned out! It was really special
to hear the story and be a part of it (check out our angel on top of the stable)
