Joint Cowboy/Cowgirl b-day party


We were super duper excited that Wayne and Audrey could join us for the joint b-day party. This was our fourth year to have a joint b-day party that served as a fundraiser for Operation Christmas Child. I'll reveal how much we collected in an upcoming post.




For the past few years we invited a bunch of people and only a few showed up. This year we invited a bunch of people and only one family didn't show up! There were about 30 people in our home!


We had a piƱata, but the thing broke on the third kid, Sabrina! We were all surprised about that.



We planned on doing a scavenger hunt with chocolate gold coins, but with so many people we had to change our plans. Frank divided the kids into three groups youngest, middle, and older. Then with his back to them he tossed gold coins to them. Some of the kids seemed to think it was real gold the way they went after them. It was a lot of fun!



I made hobby horses for each child who was invited. They were cute and the first five were fun to make. The kids loved them! Sabrina named hers Ice and she still plays with it.


It was a lot of work and a lot of fun too.
