Sarah's birthday

Our sister-in-law Sarah turned thirty about a week after we were in Albuquerque. We all decided it would be fun to celebrate early while we were together. Throughout the day on "Sarah Day," we did a bunch of Half-Minute-to-Win-It games (modified from the Minute-to-Win-It website).

Some of them were hilarious! We had to balance four dice on the end of a popsicle stick that was in our mouth.














Then, we had to wear a pedometer on our head and "head bang" the pedometer up to 50 "paces."  I think this event was the most fun to watch others do. :)










The easiest event was probably tossing plastic blocks into a bucket on our head.





In my opinion, the most fun event to participate in (even though only Sarah was successful) was blowing all except one of a half-deck of cards off of the top of a glass bottle. Very challenging!



Kim's parents fixed a yummy dinner for Sarah (and the rest of us!) ...
... we celebrated with noisemakers and gifts ...

...and then we ate red velvet cake, Sarah's favorite!


The only thing that would've made the day better is to have Amy, Jason, and their boys with us, too. Thankfully, they were able to participate in the day's last game via Skype. We took turns asking Sarah 30 questions about her past 30 years & her hopes for the future. It was a fun way to get to  know our creative sister-in-law even better. We love you, Sarah, and pray for the Lord's continued blessings & guidance for you.
