The church Christmas party that topped all other Christmas parties! Ever! Our branch had a Bethlehem themed Christmas party this year and it as awesome! Everybody decked out in their bathrobes and other various Bethlehemian attire. It was so much fun! Here's Mike in his almost authentic Nazarene terry-cloth bathrobe. And how often do you get to see the EQP as a Roman centurian? Was this not a cool party or what?
The food was amazing! Just turkey and cheese, bread, and fruit. That's it! No casseroles or Jello salads or 28 layer dips. It was so basic and wonderful!!! I was in heaven! And Lydia really dug the oranges! The primary put on a really beautiful nativity program and what was especially cool was Mike and I got to be Joseph and Mary. Lydia stayed in the audience with some of my seminary kids, but when she saw us on stage she got really excited. She stood up and pointed and shouted to let everyone know she knew us. It was hard to not make goofy faces and wave back at her. She's so cute! Here's me putting baby Jesus in the manger. What a great Christmas party! There was an amazing spirit there and was unlike any Christmas activity I'd ever been to before. Two thumbs up.
