A Once in a Lifetime Event. . .

What do you get when you:
- take two huge pots of noodles (4 packages)
- 2 pots of oatmeal & barley
- 3 boxes worth of instant mashed potatoes
- some canned peas, carrots, and cranberry sauce
then team 8 boys (Isaac, Elijah, Jacob, Cody, Brandon, Christopher, Joshua, Mason) and Faith?

Elijah's 11th Birthday Party. . . With a Food Fight theme! The boys have been asking me for a Food Fight birthday party for about the past 3 years and now, with Elijah having just turned 11 and Isaac(12) - they are the perfect age for this experience. So each kid was armed with a can of whipping cream and silly string. . . we established some ground rules and then had about 20 minutes of wild fun :>)

Here are the results:

BEFORE: Ready, set, go!

Isaac learned that you shouldn't take the cap off a can of whipping cream, put the can in your pocket, and then bend over ;>)

Daddy taught Faith to put the whip cream in her hand and then throw it. . .

Cody

Isaac & Mason


Silly string & whipping cream :>)

AFTER: The picture doesn't nearly do them justice. . .


Brandon


Jacob (Isaac's best friend) and Chris (Elijah's best bud)

Elijah and Mason -- a happy birthday boy!

And what next you ask?

Dishes. . .

Video games. . .
A Happy Birthday!!
Then, hopefully, they will sleep tonight :>)

Praise the Lord for Elijah and may this year be truly blessed. God, please continue to guide his life and may his life be filled with even more joy than he experienced today. . . that is my birthday wish for him.
