Christmas Party

2012-01-02T14:57:00.000-08:00

The party started out with everyone sitting around eating and just having fellowship. I gave out the bags of goodies that Kevin and I bought for everyone. Brother Kenny had to turn and make funny faces when I was taking pictures. Nathan was happy and laughing.

We played a sort of newlywed game and

Brother Kenny lost so he got the candy cane pacifier...lol. Kevin and I came in 3 place.Robin and Richard were the winners. It was then time to pass the gifts around to see who got what in the male gift exchange. The gifts were being passed so fast that at times they were getting dropped. There was lots of laughing. The men were pleased with what they got. It was then time for the ladies. We passed our gifts a lot slower then the men. We knew ours were breakable. Around and around the gifts went. We finally got to stop passing the gifts. Sister Nancy got a jewelry box. Robin got soaps.Shirley got soaps also Faye got a large hot cocoa mug and Sindi got a butterfly bird bath.

December Delights

2010-12-22T21:21:00.000-08:00

The Christmas party this year was very fun.

There was a lot of food to enjoy.

Each guest brought a gift for the gift exchange. The ladies played first and were all seated in a circle. The music would play and the gifts would be passed around. The person controlling the music would yell out "left or right" and when they stopped the music you received the gift you were holding.

Then it was the men's turn to play. Around and around the gifts went. The gifts were moving so fast that they almost drop them. A couple of the men had a hold of 2 gifts. When both games were over everyone had a gift and was happy.

For the church's monthly luncheon turkey and ham were served. There were many delicious sides to go along with the meal, but I must say Sister Shirley's home made pickles were a big plus.

There was a good turn out for the luncheon and every one enjoyed their food. Pastor Gregg even posed for this picture to show just how good the food was.

The annual Christmas party was held Sunday evening. There were plenty of good cookies to eat because the ladies were asked to bring in a dozen cookies for everyone to try along with the recipe for them.

Robin brought in these cute little guys that her and Chris sat up late making.

When you opened the door to the refrigerator there were these cute little faces staring out at you.

Pastor Gregg played some music, while

Everyone had a wonderful time playing games and telling stories.

The men seem to have the most fun passing around their gifts until the timer went off.

They were so happy with the gifts the received that they wanted to show what the got.

The men received Christmas ties from Shirley and Terry
which as you can see they didn't wear around their necks.

The following Sunday they all wore their ties in the proper place. All the men looked very nice in their new ties.
