Yesterday we had a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party for Jeremiah and his friends, the "two Annas". Our party consisted of a craft, a game, and cookie decorating while we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus of course! Here are a few fun pictures from the morning
Craft Supplies (our version of this craft)
Ms. Leslie giving instructions about painting
Little Man's finished product...these turned out so cute!
Next we played "Put Baby Jesus in the Manger", a spin-off of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". I used re-positionable contact paper on my kitchen wall for the manger scene. I used my Silhouette to cut out the angel, star, and bean shape for Baby Jesus (below). I cut the manger free-hand.
Our ultra-quick and not particularly accurate "Baby Jesus" wrapped in swaddling clothes of course.
Ms. Nicole blind folded the girls, who definitely enjoyed playing the game...Jeremiah just wanted to watch.
Finally, we had snacks and the kids decorated sugar cookies. So fun!
You may have noticed we had birthday plates, napkins, and even balloons. We wanted it to seem like a real birthday party. It was lots of fun and I hope it becomes an annual tradition!
