A family in our ward invited the boys to a "Big Buddy Halloween Party." Each younger child at the party would get paired up with an older child at the party. Then, the pairs played games together, read Halloween books together, and had a fun Halloween snack together. Cooper got paired up with Chayla, an 8 year old little girl. He absolutely adored her!! He wanted to be by her the entire party and felt so proud to be her partner in the games and activities. Afterward, at home he would talk about her and when the primary would sing in church for the primary program and at Christmas time, he would search for her face and just grin at her.
Jaxton got paired with Chayla's older brother, Dainen, who was about 10 years old. And similarly, Jaxton adored his partner and wanted to do things with and play with him all the time.
The party started out with a costume parade as the kids got to know their big buddies. Then they read Halloween books to their younger partner. Next, they played partner games with beanbags and then ended the fun afternoon with a fun Halloween snack! What a fun day!
