In our family five years old is something to celebrate in a special way, with a special party. So in November we celebrated Judah's 5th birthday with a Cowboy and Indian party...
Here were two Indian princess guests, Shifrah & Selah...
With 12 three-to-six year olds (and a few littlier ones underfoot) we kept them busy to prevent a cowboy & indian war. Their first activity was painting their own Indian teepee...
Then a cowboy shooting competition...
Cowboy Jake with his pistol ready...
Cowgirl Amber lining up her aim...
Some respectable cowboys listening to Uncle Duane's Bible story...
Time for chow, served in a tin plate...
Tomato soup, chicken fingers and grilled cheese teepees...
Cowboy Daddy refereeing the Indian animal tracking game...
Cowboy Jacob with Indian Judah trying to match up their animal tracks with the correct animal...
Group shot with smiling faces...
...Indian arrows aimed and ready...
What a fierce crew!
Indian Mama bringing in the lighted teepees...
"Happy Birthday, dear Judah..."
"...Happy Birthday to you!"
(Check out the cheeks!)
"How old is he again?"
Cowboy horse relay race, boys versus girls, Silas & Helena leading their teams...
Tricky work walking your pony down a steep ravine...
...Amber and Judah galloping around a mountain...
Isabella & Matt race their horse down the steep slope...
Last activity, camp fire s'mores and songs...
Thanks to all the parents who lent a helping hand...
Ummm, those fingers do taste good...
...down to the last bite...
We all love you, Judah, and pray your next year will be rich with God's grace and wisdom!
