May Birthday Heroes Celebration

Thank you to the Birthday Heroes who were able to host birthday parties at Youth Villages this past Saturday! The girls were attentive to the special guest from North River, Beebe Hargrove! Beebe's talent in watercolor painting is evident, and the girls were impressed to see the children's book Rusty and Emma's Big Shock, which contains Beebe's illustrations!  The Youth Village girls were thrilled to learn how to make watercolor cards and were eager to give their cards to someone they appreciate! One girl had a May birthday so cupcakes and ice cream were enjoyed by all, followed by a goody bag.

The older elementary age boys played three games at their party, all of which involved a paper plate and were fairly simple, but these Birthday Heroes were able to put in their energy, enthusiasm, and excitement into the activities to create a memory which will last a life time for these boys. Two volunteers were able to lead the younger elementary boys' party. The boys were anxious to play the paper plate games in order to earn a sticker. Each sticker earned is cashed in for a piece of candy at the end of the party! Both boy parties had a May birthday. We are thankful to have the opportunity to show God's love to the children at Youth Villages!
