Christmas Time With Friends

Wedding Time

Wedding bells were ringing at the beach this weekend as Ben and Jody exchanged wedding vows. It was a time of celebration as you can see Jacquie rocking out on Alex’s guitar.

Leaders Christmas Dinner

Every year all the youth leaders get together for a Christmas party and gift exchange. The Griggs have opened their home to us the last couple of years which provides a great atmosphere for us to fellowship and hang out. There were several leaders that were missed this year but the overall night was great.

Jacquie showed off her pearly whites before we started the gift exchange and several rounds of gift stealing. Jacquie and I teamed up and went home with some great $10 gifts.





Sarah Myers was our master drink mixer this year. She was making Italian cream sodas for everyone as they came in the door. She provided a dozen different flavors and knew just the right mixture for a perfect cream soda.

Ben’s Bachelor Party

Ice Blocking

Ice blocking is also known as desert sledding. We purchased blocks of ice from the store then sit on the ice while sliding down a grassy hill. It’s cheap fun entertainment that can easily keep teenagers occupied for hours and forgetful that it’s freezing and windy outside. After ice blocking we went to Jesse and Missy’s house for hot chocolate and fellowship.




Jesse and Gabe racing head first down the grassy slope competing for the fastest leader title that Jesse held since last year. Gabe was able to usurp Jesse this year and take over the title of fastest leader.

Chrismas time at Disneyland

We needed to get Ben and Jody back down to Disneyland so they can get their monies worth out of their passes. We meet up with Casey and Lisa and brought Sara along with us for a day of fun and rides. Everyone enjoyed seeing the Christmas decorations and fireworks that night.

Jody, Jacquie and Sarah make a funny face for the camera with their special 3D glasses on.





Lisa is showing off their youngest son Jimmy Carters diaper blow out while she smiles for the camera. I was smiling because I didn't have to change it.


A picture to gross all of you non smokers out you can see the pillar of smoke that hovers over the smoking section in the park. It was disgusting to walk around the corner and see that the smokers shaded from the sun by their own cigarettes. I think I had nicotine withdraw later that night because of it.
