Happiness Party!

Cora came to me the other day and told me that she wanted to throw a surprise party for her Daddy. When I asked her why, she told me that she just thought that it would cheer him up a little!

Greg has been out of a full time job now for almost 2 years and that has been hard on him. Of course he doesn't give himself credit for the hardest full time job of all. You moms know what I am talking about!! Full time stay at home mom/dad is a big job and he has been doing a fantastic job of it. Cora and her daddy have grown so close and it has been wonderful to watch.

So back to the surprise party...Cora planned all the details.

What to eat: Hot dogs and chips.

What to drink: Apple juice.

Decorations: Party hats and balloons.

We sent Aunt Kimmie to the dollar store. They ended up not having any party hats so she settled for bunny ears!

When Kimmie got off of work later at 7, she called Greg and told him she locked herself out of her car and needed him to bring her spare key to her. As soon as he was out the door we got busy decorating! By the time he got home

the hot dogs were on the grill, the table was set, and we were hiding in the dark in our bunny ears ready to blow our noisemakers!! Greg was so surprised. Cora did a great job keeping a secret and I am so proud of her for her kindness and compassion. She often reminds me what it is to be Christ like.
