May Part 4 - End of School, Playdoh and More!

5-22-17  The students who got Perfect Attendance all year long got to go to a movie!!!  Then that afternoon the 2nd grade classes had outside events like tug of war, three legged races, and egg races.  They had lots of fun!!  After the outside games the kids celebrated Jacen's birthday since his real birthday is after school is out!  They sang to him, his teacher gave him 8 hugs, and then they ate brownies as requested by Jacen!

May 2017 Part 3 - Jacen's Birthday Party!!!!

5-20-17  Jacen wanted a Pokemon themed birthday party this year, so we had a fruit tray and cookies that looked like Pokeballs!!  He also wanted his party at Legacy Play Village, and even though it was windy the kids had lots of fun!  This year he asked for Lego donations for Covenant Children's Hospital again!  He had some friends from school and church as well as some cousins come!

He released his balloons to NeNe (Nathan) along with his remaining friends and cousins who sent their balloons to Nathan as well.  It was very sweet and thoughtful that they all wanted to participate with him!

Afterwards, we ate at McAlisters with Grandma, Aunt Amy, Madisyn, and Blaine before they headed back to Goldthwaite!!

Some of his friends got him gifts in addition to their donations, so he opened those at home :)
