Youth Christmas Party

We celebrated Christmas with the Youth tonight!
It was a great party!!!!
Lots of good food and, most importantly, fellowship!
Brother Mike (Big Mike) and Mrs. Bobbie were so kind to host the party at their house. They are always willing to open their home to our church and youth ministry.
This family is always ready to serve our Lord and others. They are such a blessing!!
I must add that they are very BRAVE! LOL!
The above picture is of the "Dirty Santa Game."
All the youth brought a wrapped, ten dollar gift. Each person drew a number to decide who could choose gifts first. They could "steal" someone else's gift (if they liked it). But, it could only be "stolen" 3 times and then it was considered "dead."
Let me tell you!
The young men and women at this party had alliances and strategies!
I have never seen such a hilarious game of "Dirty Santa."
Here are some of the young ladies plotting to obtain the
MOST TREASURED GIFT!
You will NEVER, EVER guess what the prized gift was!!!!

I HOPE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN!!
BRACE YOURSELF!
NEVER SEEN, BEFORE...
AND NOT IN STORES...
IT IS THE...

YES!!!
YOU READ IT RIGHT!
THE GREG RAGLAND and JONATHAN LOWERY
ACTION FIGURE SET!
I know you are amazed and a little confused!
Please look below for the newest line of action figures!


How totally awesome is this?!?!?!?!
How many other women can say that their husband is an action figure?
NOT MANY!!!
I mean, this is the coolest thing since...
dare I say...
Chuck Norris!
Yes, DEFINITELY, the coolest thing since Chuck Norris!
I know you are wondering where you can find these incredible dolls (OOPS!), I mean action figures.
Well, unfortunately, this is the only one of its kind!
BUMMER!
Currently, the Youth are DEMANDING for a mass production!
***
Actually, Cameron ( young man in our Youth Ministry), Marian (his totally awesome mother), and Will Lipscomb (an incredible artist) teamed up to make the action figures!
We were all amazed at their creativity! The background matches the backdrop to the stage in the Green House (Youth House). Will was the artist of the mural in the Green House. *I posted pics back in September of the remodel.*
The Youth actually argued over the dolls!
Of course, I was ready to pay big bucks for them!
It was Black Friday all over again! LOL!



OH!
And they came in this well, crafted box.
Perfect for the Collector's Edition!

I must add these pics of HG, Michael, and Rebekah!
HG absolutely adores them!
Michael played with her so much tonight.
When we left the party, HG said,"I had the best time ever with Mr. Michael."
I must add that Michael is always willing to do whatever HG wants.
Above, she is using him to help her turn flips.







Michael playing "Hide and Go Seek" with HG.
HMMMM!
Where is he?
