Now, keep in mind when kids around here, hear that there are gifts being given they come from everywhere. We did our best to keep the crowd down to our usual church children, however we did have a few party crashers. I was getting really worried. I was counting kids and then counting presents and counting kids again, and more would come and I finally went into a room and said, " Lord, remember that story about fishes and loaves? Well, I really need you to multiply these presents so that each child gets one." Well, if He isn't the PERFECT provider, we had just enough boy presents, (22) and just enough girl presents (15) to allow each child to receive a gift.
These were the gifts we purchased waiting to be put into boxes.
These were the 3 pinatas we purchased and all the candy that went in them.
This was a typical boy's box.
Here is a typical baby box.
Here is a typical girl box.
Here is the great cake we had made, it was yummy!
This was the last chair in musical chairs. As you can see Alex was playing ref.
Here are some of the kids listening to Greg tell a story from the Bible.
This is a fun game they play when they see which team can cover their mummy best with 2 rolls of tp. Of course the funny part comes at the end when you see which mother fights over the toilet paper. :o)
This was at the start of the night when they were playing Pedro Says, like Simon Says but with a touch of Mexican influence!
Here are all of the boxes wrapped and ready to go.
The unvieling. The delight cannot be hidden!
I tried to get picture of these kids with their gifts and the pictures but it just didn't work.
If you see a boy with a hat on, it is a new hat!
Some of them don't look happy, the only thing they weren't happy about was me bothering them with taking a bunch of pictures! But.... other than that, they were extremely happy!!
Ready for battle!
He did get a box, he wasn't in one as a gift! Although, I would take him!!
