we had a game party. simple. we played pictionary and marbles as a group then took a break for pizza. next, we had four games set out (checkers, mastermind, pick-up sticks, and connect four) everyone picked a partner and a game and played until it was time for presents and cake. the boys played basketball for the last few minutes. it was so calm and everyone seemed to like it. abe had a great time. he wasn't able to invite all his friends, but i am constantly grateful for the good friends my kids have here in flagstaff. what a blessing.
my highlight: abe and sadie went to the door to deliver an invitation. the boy wasn't there but his uncle answered the door. he looked a little rough- wearing chains and a tank-top. abe got in the car, was quiet for a second then said, "great. now a gangster is reading an invitation that says, abe's got game."
we laughed.
