Ammon's Birthday Adventure

Wednesday is Ammon's (Troy's brother out in the mission field) Birthday, so we wanted to do something fun and original to send him!!! He has been out since July--the kids have a lot of fun writing him letters and we have sent him some other packages--but we wanted to do something different for his birthday!! This is creative as we got..

Before....

I wanted to get 'during' pictures--but I was on my own, so it was a little crazy!!

The kids each picked their own color--it was quite fun!! They really did pretty well--considering their ages!! :)

The pillow case was pretty empty looking with just five 'little' feet!! When they were done--Tyler asked what color Troy and I were going to choose!! I wasn't planning on us doing it--but the kids begged!! Troy was less than impressed, but he was a good sport about it!! I think Ammon will get a kick out of it!!

The finished product!! I labeled each footprint and put the kids' ages--that's as fancy as we got!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMMON!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Tyler wrote him a little note from the Family!! He thought he was the biggest kid ever!! I love how he is growing and able to do 'big' kid things! :)
