Afternoon Drop-in
Josh’s Sixteenth Birthday Party
Final Installment
Sunday, February 13
After the food was put away and the lunch dishes cleaned up, Jere and Kristen brought out another cake – one that was a duplicate of a piece of Josh’s artwork.
When Josh walked into the garage, he was surprised and asked, “So why is there another cake?”
They told him that some friends would be stopping by.

Jesse didn’t care what else was going on as he was playing a Curious George game on the GameCube in our guest room.
He is fun to watch, because he sometimes jumps up and down with the activity of the game.
Jordan, Josh, and Nate (not in photo) played an XBox 360 game on the monitor in the kids’ room.
They were playing basketball (left) while watching a basketball game on TV (right). Below the table, Jared, Ian, and Gloria were playing a Shrek 2 game on the monitor that is hooked up to an Xbox.
We actually have one TV and one XBox/monitor in that room. The teenage boys who like to hang out here brought the other two. That way they can play more games. 
Before long, Josh’s friends began arriving – and leaving their shoes just inside the garage door.
Because our kids’ room is fairly small, we brought Josh’s friends to the garage,and hooked the XBox 360 up to our projector. They loved the big-screen effect, and asked, “Why did we not know that we could do this at Grandpa and Grandma’s house?”
Because only four could play that game, a friend went home for his XBox 360 and hooked it up with one of our monitors.

He will be driving the Mercury Mountaineer his parents bought – for Josh’s use. He passed his written test and must now drive on a permit for six months before taking his driver test.
Jana trying to convince Jesse to feed her a piece of cake. Will he do it?
He is such a good little brother.
