Our grandson Toben turned 3 today! And fortunately for us, his birthday party took place in our barn.
Rachel arrived with a complete birthday party in a crate! Favors, decorations and games galore. All we had to do was clean up the barn to get ready.
This ended up to be a family pig roast as well – no use not utilizing our pig roaster, and Zach and Rachel got half a pig for roasting. We had lots of potatoes, corn and rolls with jelly, as well as cakes, muffins and jigglers.
Overall, we had about 40 people, including a dozen kids – all under the age of 4. Caleb brought over his hay wagon, with some hay bales, and took all the kids and some parents for a ride around the farm.
Gracie brought a pinata – which we hung up outside of the barn. None of the small children were able to break the pinata, though not for lack of trying. It took Lars to break it open 🙂
Other games included “pin the tail on the donkey”, and “go fish” – with quite an elaborate set-up. And the of course there was birthday cake, balloons, presents and treats for everyone. What a fun day!
