A Birthday Party for
Jenna Elise
On Her Birthdate - Sunday, March 31
Jenna was putting whipped cream on a cherry Jello salad when we arrived, while her mom, Chris, worked on another lunch item in the background.
Birthday flowers and a balloon from Nate and Sabrina.
Roses from Jere and Kristen
Almost time for lunch.
We had an incredibly delicious meal.
This was our dessert until after gifts.
Waiting for the go-ahead to open gifts.
A few fun snacks from us - until we can get together on a birthday dinner in a favorite restaurant.
A cute note from Grandma Wells.
More tomorrow night...
TFC Dinner Concert
Yoder's Restaurant - Saturday, March 30
It isn't easy to take a picture of 706 people...
...and I discovered that it can't be done with only two photos.
Following a delicious meal, the Stutzman Family provided a fabulous concert.
They had just the right songs and stories for our group of truckers and their friends - sometimes serious and other times funny.
Following the Stutzman's first group of songs, Will and Sherry Stoner shared how God used the ABCs in Transport For Christ's Highway News and Good News to bring Will to an understanding of salvation through Jesus Christ.
ADMIT YOU ARE A SINNER. “... as it is written, ‘There is none righteous, not even one ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’” (Romans 3:10, 23).
BELIEVE IN JESUS FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS AND FORETERNAL LIFE. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
CONFESS JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD AND TURN FROM YOUR SINS. “... if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved ... for ‘Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved’” (Romans 10:9, 13). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

Jana Rae's Birthday Party
Part II
Opening Gifts
Spraying Josh with her perfume.
She got a hug even though she had been pestering him.
Guess who likes John Luke on Duck Dynasty?
Playing Old Maid with Jesse and Jared while Ian took his bath.
There was lots of tussling after the boys had baths...
...and Jared demonstrated his very good hand/head stand.
Jana enjoying a game or text - not sure which.
Happy 14th birthday to our sweet Jana.
Jana Rae's Birthday Party
Thursday, March 28 - two days before her birthday
When we arrived, the boys were playing with a homemade bow and arrows.
Later they each had a bow and pretended to be aiming at Jana. They weren't as dangerous as they look. 
Jesse showed me a name banner he made in preschool - with curly noodles.
Waiting for her birthday supper.
Grilled Chicken
Salad
My place setting and iced tea.
Delicious fettuccine with homemade noodles. Yum!
