Harrison and Hudson had their first birthday party for Jesus during the Christmas break. Every child brought a monetary donation to the Cyndi Trest Mission and some canned goods for the Edwards Street Grocery. We raised almost $150 and had over 60 cans of food! We read the book Humphrey's First Christmas and talked about giving. They did a canned food hunt in the backyard, we sang Happy Birthday and ate cake then played the rest of the time! We were so glad that our friends and cousins came to play and fellowship and hope to start a tradition recognizing and teaching the real story of Christmas and how each of us can give just like our savior did for us. Like Humphrey, the camel at the manger in Bethlehem, he gave his most treasured blanket to the new baby so he would not be cold.
