Sunday School Christmas Banquet

I am going to do some catch up blogging. It seems like the month of December has been loaded with parties, banquets, shopping, and fun all month long and there has barely been time to sit down and download pictures from my camera (Yes, the computer responds slowly to downloads unfortunately). So here is the first event I will share with you.

Bro. Jeff and Sis. Bridget Koehoorn did an amazing job with our Sunday School Christmas Banquet/Party this year. We had puppet shows organized and put together by Bro.Jeff, pizza and drinks from the Sunday School Department, games with Sis. StockingStuffer (Sis.Loretta, who was dressed as a giant stocking... adorable), gift exchange, and last but certainly not least... the Christmas story was read by candlelight from some of the older kids. I didn't get to capture all events during the evening, but I tried to get a picture of at least all who were in attendance.
Here is some of the kitchen help.

We had a great time that night. ...And no, Noah did not attend. We had been at the church all day helping Sis.Bridget. Noah desperately needed a nap and I left him home with his daddy so he could sleep.

Sis V....
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to take all those wonderful pictures of an awesome Sunday School Christmas Party, but I will say that it was all the wonderful teachers including you that helped make this possible and made it as good as it was. My wife said if you hadn't been there to help set all that up it would have never been as great looking as it was. You are absolutely wonderful and we thank you so very much! I must give credit where it is due and those teachers deserve it all.

Thank you for posting! I was unable to be there so it is nice to see some of the pictures. I looks like there was a lot of fun to be had.
