Saturday morning a friend of mine gave her daughter a birthday party in the park. It was one of the best birthday parties ever! Not too long, not too short...just right.
I love birthday parties...especially well thought out, planned, and executed ones! The kind I can never seem to manage. Other peoples parties in particular, ones that I just help with!
A birthday is a magical day as a child. Anticipation for that one day of the year this is totally your own. Anything can happen and everything usually goes your way....the universe balancing the world in your favor on your own very special day!
Watching the children anxiously awaiting the next game or craft was such a blessing. They began with face painting...kitties, puppies, and even a monkey. Next they got to decorate bags with stickers, markers, colored pencils, and sticky foam letters!
Then it was time for the puppy chow down! This was the most exciting game as they were eating like puppies, on their knees, hands down...faces in bowl! Children always energize me! They have a way of showing you the world from a fresh pair of eyes...they teach us as much as we teach them. God gave us such a blessing with children, one that returns itself over and over!
I can't wait for the next birthday party!
