Birthday Parties

So Saturday Levi & Garrett had a double birthday party. Each of the boys were allowed to invite 4 of their closest friends. I think 8 extra energy boys in the house for the day was more than enough. They all behaved very well and from what I saw, had lots of fun!

Of Course Levi wanted to have an army theme party...what is a "Levi" party without weapons? You can tell his friends know his taste too as they brought him new guns for his gifts. They insisted that I allow him to open them right away so that they could use them to play with.


Garrett had his friends over to play some paintball in the woods. They take it very seriously!


Here the 2 groups meet up...nerf guns against paintball guns. It is so good to see the big boys are not bothered when the younger kids want to do things with them.


This year Levi chose a Transformers Pinata. They had quite a bit of fun bashing it. They actually were more interested in breaking it up then they were in the candy inside.








When the rain sent them inside (and the chocolate mint pie and Rootbeer Floats) they took over the family room and the Wii. We have enough nerf guns to go around!



After the younger kids went home, the teens decided to hang around and play tackle football in the mud while it was raining. I checked on them when ever I heard a loud scream. ;) There was bloody noses and footballs in trees but they were always laughing and having a great time. The party was officially over at 5 but these boys finally went home shortly after 8. I am so thankful for the godly friends God has placed in Garrett's life!

THAT sounded like fun (not sarcasm)! Glad to hear the boys had a good time (all of them)! :)
