Reformation Party

One of the older girls reading about Martin Luther to the kids.

Our family has chosen not to celebrate Halloween and that decision was made even easier when B#5 was born on October 31st. Generally we celebrate his birthday that day. This year, however, dad had to work on his birthday so we decided to celebrate it earlier in the week so when we were invited by some good friends to a Reformation Party on the 31st we gladly accepted. The kids had a great time playing games like "Chucking Bibles into Germany", an Indulgence throw-away relay race, reading about Martin Luther and making crafts, bobbing for doughnuts(very messy), a hymn sing, lots of food and wonderful fellowship. All in all there were only 7 families but we had 35 children, lots of fun! B#4 took some pictures of it all so enjoy and happy belated Reformation Day.
