Youth Christmas Party December 19, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — emilyut @ 3:24 am

We just got home from the FBC Youth Christmas Party. One baby is asleep and the other is on the way. I thought I would take a moment to share about our evening. I realized the other day I’ve never shared pictures or stories from our youth events…probably because I’m not able to attend many of them. Good news, I got to go to the party!

We are so thankful to all those who opened their homes and to the many others who provided the delicious food. We had a huge spread of appetizers at the Culver’s home which quickly disappeared. Perry threatened to stay at their house…I almost let him :) . We went from here back to church where we were served dinner which was also yummy. After dinner the students exchanged white elephant gifts. I’m not really sure how many students were happy with what they took home seeing as how the budget was $5 or something from home. However, Perry and Macy were thrilled with their gifts. Perry stole used basketball trophy and if I know him he’s sleeping with it right now. Macy ended up with a necklace and Tierra although she didn’t really open any presents. After some good laughs at gifts like a roll of toilet paper, which believe it or not was stolen a few times, and night crawlers we headed for dessert. Once again we were greeted by quite a spread of yummy, gooey, chocolatey goodness.

We really are enjoying our time with the students. It has been difficult for me at times to make connections and spend the time that I want to with them, mainly because I always have 2 little ones following me around. But, the time we do get to spend is full of fun and laughter. I’m very thankful for the way the love and play with PB and MZ, as a matter of fact, Perry will be talking about riding in the church bus with the big kids for a long time! Merry Christmas from the FBC Students.
