When Max was young I always asked him who he wanted at his birthday party. He always said, "My friends." I asked him what are your friends names? He said, all his aunts names and brothers and sisters.
The year of 2023, I asked him who he would like to have at his birthday party. He said, "My friends." I asked for names and he listed the missionaries in his mission. So, we invited them to come. He had a great time.
They made s'mores over the firepit in the backyard. Max had built the firepit. They sang songs around the campfire while one of the missionaries accompanied them with a guitar. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, chili, fruit and potato salad.
After the party ended they all went and play basketball. He had a fabulous birthday. The party was on his birthday!!!!
Here is the firepit Max built.
It was the first birthday party with just his friends.
