It's not what I can do, but what HE has done

I was recently blessed with the opportunity to give a little 4 year old boy, Ethan, a birthday party at the local Children's Home. On a budget of about $100 I was able to throw him a very special Birthday Party that was themed around one of his favorite super heros, Batman!

Without going into too much detail, the children that live at the Children's Home are not adoptable children, but they are being cared for greatly by house parents known as Mom and Pop. Some will spend a few months there and some will be placed at this home and live there until they graduate high school. 

All of these children hold a special place in my heart and I am excited to share their Birthday's with you. 

It was back in November that I first found this place. I waited 2 months to have a tour of the campus and finally was assigned as a sponsor for a particular "cottage" that did not have anyone to give these precious babies birthday parties!  With help of friends on facebook and a few fellow blog readers, I was blessed with the income to not only host 1 birthday party, but I have enough to help with the other 3 parties that will be held in the following weeks. {2/14, 3/9 & 3/26}. 

Please enjoy these photos from Saturday's Batman Birthday Party theme. 

The "set up". Each child that lives in this cottage received a "goody bag". 

The color theme was of course, Black and Yellow. I bought him 4 gifts {three of which he asked for and 1 surprise}. To him, they were all surprises but still things that he wanted. 

The "sweets" table!

The goodie bags. They were filled with necessities as well as lots of fun goodies!

I found these adorable little tins in the dollar section of Target. Perfect timing. 

I made some popcorn and drizzled with chocolate. Yum!

Pinapple Soda for the beverage. Gotta stick with the color scheme!

One of the games that I made to play. I was quite impressed that I was able to free hand that batman. 

If they threw the balls and landed on black they won a prize!

ETHAN! Isn't he just a doll! Happy 4th Birthday big boy!

The shirt he is wearing was made by Emily at Emily's Expressions. She kindly donated it so that he would have a personalized Birthday shirt!  I highly recommend her work. 

My husband bought him a Batman Mask. He wanted him to have something extra special. He LOVED it!

Me and the Birthday Boy. We were putting together a huge floor puzzle. 

Blowing bubbles from his Goodie Bag! 

THE CAKE! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN! 

I am so honored that I got to be a part of his special day. I'm not sure who walked away more blessed. Me or him. 

{If you would like to donate to any of the future birthdays I would gladly use 100% of the donations towards the birthdays.  Better yet, if you sponsor a birthday party at your local Children's home please let me know. I would love to see pictures and encourage you along the way. Email for details}.
