Happy Birthday Jordan

Madison was invited to her friend Jordan's birthday party today, and she had a great time. What an opportunity to run around and chase others - and be chased too! There were balloons, and probably one of the tastiest chocolate cakes in the history of pastry. It was held at the KidPak recreation room, so there was plenty of room and plenty of things to do for everyone. We just got some new air hockey tables in there, so everyone got to test them out before church tomorrow when the rest of the kids will play on them.

Madison found her present for Jordan and was so sweet when she handed it to him. She marched forward with her gift while Jordan was still opening another gift - Madison wanted him to open it up. By the way, it was a Cad Bane action figure. That's a character from the Star Wars universe - the whole theme of Jordan's party was Star Wars, so it was hopefully appreciated!

It was a great time for Madison who got a gift bag with goodies inside, but would have been just as happy simply because she came. She really had a great time!

Now some alert readers may be curious if Mommy and Daddy splurged on the cake. As tempting as it looked, we're happy to report that we did not eat a bit of it. We're highly disciplined, thanks to the new Fastomatic 300. What is the Fastomatic 300, you ask? Check out this commercial, filmed entirely in our new kitchen!

You should have heard Madison giggling the whole time we filmed this. She was loving the whole process - the raw footage has a lot of her laughter in it. She herself is somewhat of a church actress, as she's been in some videos we've shown to all the kids. The star of this one though is our friend Josh, who also edited it together so well.

We've filmed another fasting video recently, filmed at the church mostly. It features Daddy as a fasting violator, and it has a bit of humor in it too. It's called "Fasting Police."

We've got a big day tomorrow at church. Can you believe we're already having auditions for our upcoming Easter Drama? It's at the end of April, and yet we're getting a start right now. It'll be a loooooong day...!
