Hallelujah Night 2009

Every year New Creation Academy holds a Hallelujah Night This is a positive alternative to halloween. (Joe and I have chosen not to have the kids surround themselves with all of the negativity of halloween.) This event allows the kids to dress up, play games, get candy, and praise God at the same time!


The school sets up a "photo booth" and this year we were able to get all three kids in the picture. They were able to get one where all of the kids were looking. Of course Jaden was playing with his tail in all of the pictures I took.
Jonathan was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle this year. He still dresses up and wears the costume around the house!
Jaden was the cutest Triceratops around!


I was sure excited to have a little girl to dress up this year in a girlie costume. Makayla was Snow White.


There are lots of games for the kids to play. Jonathan was really good at this one. He made the ring over 4 pop bottles!


Jaden thought this game was pretty neat too.


There was bowling there too.


This "game" is always a hit. The kids get to "dig for gold". The swimming pool is filled with popcorn and gold wrapped chocolate. I think Jaden could have stayed at this spot all night!


This game was interesting and Jaden ended up "winning" two pieces of candy. The kids had to drop Life0Savers into cups on the ground. One of the Life-Savers Jaden dropped made it into a cup and bounced out and into another cup!


This year the school decided to have the kids "fish" for plastic ducks. In the past the kids fished for real fish. We have lost quite a few gold fish over the years...


Jonathan has been pretty good at putting the golf ball. Poppy has been letting him play with his golf clubs in the backyard during the summers.


Poor Jaden was trying to figure out how to use a right-handed golf club with his left-handed brain! (They forgot to bring the left-handed golf clubs this year.)


I think this was Jonathan's favorite station this night. He had a lot of fun riding the bull. The men bouncing the bull did not take it easy with him either!


I think the men were a little hesitant to have Jaden up there, but he did great. He came off laughing, so we all called it a success with Jaden!


Jaden was showing off his soccer skills at this station. He actually made more than one goal! We always thought he would be our football player, maybe he will surprise us and be a soccer player.

Makayla was too little for the games, but had a great time with Poppy!
Well, it is just a couple days until Christmas and I am just getting my Hallelujah Night pictures up. I will try to get the Christmas ones up a little quicker!
Joe, Jonathan, Jaden, Makayla, and I all wish you a Blessed Christmas with the love of family, friends, and Christ surrounding you!
