Paul's 2nd Birthday

We decided to have a small birthday party for Paul at church because we did not know if Paul would be able to last through a birthday party and we wanted to invite everyone and we did not know if our home was big enough. We brought the main meal for our fellowship time (potluck) and we had a cake to share with everyone. We also made games to do with the kids. I had fun making Paul's cake. Since the theme was hot wheels, I looked on the computer for ideas. I came across this website called: coolest birthday cakes. You should check out this website. It has so many amazing ideas and how to do them. Joshua also helped me out with the games. He drew a race car track and I colored it for "pin the car on the track". I then printed out pictures of hot wheels and glued them to a thin poster board. Then I cut them out. The kids are going to be blind-folded and then have to put their car on the track. We also have a game where the kids are going to drop cloths pins and have them go into a jar. Paul does not understand about birthdays yet, but he does know that something is going on. We had so much fun with the kids. One things that really impressed me was how they cheered each other on and praised their efforts after. They loved all the games, the prize bags, and the cake. Paul was not quite sure of what to do as everyone sang happy birthday to him. We had a great time and it was a wonderful birthday celebration, just as if we did it at home. Paul was very tired afterwards.
