Luke's party was today! It was actually a party for Chris and Felicity as well, but since Luke as the oldest, it was extra-special for him. One of Luke's sponsors helped us buy gifts for all of the children, and Luke had a wonderful time passing them out. He felt quite proud to be the center of attention.

Adah wonders when we can eat cake.
The Birthday Boy! Luke
turned 3 this month.
Felicity watches the preparations. She turned 2 this month.
Wow! Look at that cake!
Chris turned 1 year old.
Chris is the perfect cake-topper!
Two candles for a very special two-year-old!
Luke liked his 3 bright candles.
Make a wish!
Luke cuts the cake.
Chris helps cut it, too.
Felicity liked eating the cake, but mostly she liked the frosting.
It didn't take Chris long to figure out this was pretty yummy stuff!

It's time for gifts!
You know it's a good birthday party when you get presents and it isn't your party!
Felicity's little foster sister, Faith, came for the party as well.
At first, Luke wasn't sure about giving away the gifts...
... but it didn't take very long for him to see the happy smiles of his friends and figure out this was great fun!
