Worship Team Christmas Party!

 Matt, the worship pastor at church, hosted a gathering for the worship and tech teams at church this past Saturday.  

We had such a fun time!!  

 There was so much good food, fun games, and visiting!

My favorite game was where we had to split into groups of 4-5 people.  Then each team had 10 minutes to write a Christmas song and then perform it.  I was nervous about it at first, but it was such fun - and ended up being really funny as well!=D

Opening gifts. =)

My final gift - a large "thumbs-up" figure!  (Facebook in person!) Haha!

Grape Tea

Tea made from grape skins! It has no caffeine or alcohol and tastes amazing!

Sunday Afternoon with Caleb and Ana!

 Amy and I met up with some friends and Ana and Caleb at Bethlehem for church.  

Then we went to A&C's house for lunch, games, and a movie!

Snapped this picture on the way to A&C's house! =D

My Birthday!

 I am thankful for a lovely birthday...fb posts, messages, texts, cards, gifts, a delicious meal and lemon pie, and to top it off a surprise visit from Ana and Caleb, and having our friend Ashley over too!! I am so blessed by the love and thoughtfulness of my family and friends. Thank you all!!

Tapestries

A friend from church invited Mom and me to go see some tapestries from South America that were on display in a near by town.  They were so detailed! It was amazing all the work these women put into them, and each one told a story about the maker. Something about their life, or something they were hoping for etc.

PRC's Pie Auction

Dozens of pies were donated by many people to raise money for the Pregnancy Resource Center. 

 Amy and I had fun being the photographers for the event!

One of the three tables of pies.

There was a pie contest...

....and a winner!

Pies ready to be auctioned off!

Michelle and Amy

The lady in charge of the kitchen. =)

Delicious pie to eat while bidding!

The couple that came up with the idea, several years ago, to have a pie auction before Thanksgiving.

The auctioneer.  

I asked him if I could take his picture, and this is how he posed himself. =)

He was such fun!

Seth and Sarah's Wedding Reception!

Our friend Sarah got married about a month ago out in western South Dakota.  We were not able to attend the wedding, but went to their MN reception at Iron Wood Springs Christian Ranch.  I remember camping there when I was little and going to a week of  summer camp as well one year. They have added a few buildings, but some of it still looked familiar!

The reception was held in one of the new buildings overlooking the river.  Such a pretty place!

Sarah and Seth!

 All the food except for one cake was gluten free, which was really nice for Amy!

 Root Beer, Cream Soda, Orange Soda, pop corn, nuts, M&Ms, s'mores ready to go....they had so many yummy treats out for the guests!

 Amy and I went on a wagon ride with some of the other guests. =)
