Christmas Cheer

Can you tell that it's Christmas time? Everyone came festively dressed and  brought along something special for our Christmas Pot Luck. Trust me! The food was delicious and plentiful! But the best part of the evening was just getting to spend time together as friends.

Our guys are surely in the holiday spirit!

Mike always gives us lots of laughs. Check out the wacky glasses. They are like looking through the bottom of a really distorted coca cola bottle.

I wonder what's on Jay's mind? Knowing him, he's plotting his next prank!

 

Kim  and Mindy wore their best, comfy Christmas slippers.

 Between Laurie's necklace and the blinking reindeer antlers, we had our very own Christmas light show.

Since it wouldn't be Christmas without a little exchange of gifts , Laurie stepped up and did her best Santa impersonation.

We had some really silly gifts. There's a story here but we'll leave that to another time.

What fun it was to share the many special memories of our first year together in book form.

Laurie and I laughed a lot while working together on this Surprise project for everyone on our team. It looks like it's a great hit! The book showed our journey over this year.What a year filled with study, service and building strong life long friendships. Oh! Did I forget to mention the food? Lots of great food!

 

 

While we eat, laugh, tease and just have a great time together, we never lose sight about the real reason for this special celebration of Christmas. 'His name is Jesus. His name whispers the beauty of creation...His name shouts the Glory of God!  May all the joys of Jesus, be yours this Christmas.'
