Joshua's Christmas Party

Joshua had a formal Christmas party Friday night with his youth group. I took a few pictures before we left. I really wish I knew how to operate a camera better. I had him in the shade and forgot the flash inside. lol

At any rate, he had a really great time. The party was set up as a progressive dinner so they went to a few different homes. He said each home was great and he loved all of the food!! They did have a gift exchange and when he saw me at the close of the evening he handed me a great big Hershey chocolate bar.

Yep, he gave it to me. Is it any wonder that boy has my heart!!!


May your day be blessed. ((hugs)) to you!

What a handsome guy!! And he's very nearly as tall as the Christmas tree!!

You must know that I'm drooling over the green grass and the green bushes!!

I've never done a progressive dinner, but I've always wanted to. They sound like SUCH fun.

Hope you have a lovely day.

Love,
Patti

He is going to be a catch for some young lady someday when he is 30!! :o) *wink*

Monkey is doing a little better. Her cough is still pretty bad, but the congestion in her nose is pretty much gone so she can suck her pacifier without trouble. Her wheezing is doing better thanks to the nebulizer! She is sleeping better too. Dr. says she will probably have this terrible cough for a good week or so! Ugh! Thanks so much for the prayers. I KNOW they are working!!

Frizzy said...

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. It's not intentional. Just lots going on in preparation for the holidays, family and travel. I'll try to do better until we leave for our trip.

Frizzy said...

By the way, your son is going to be a charmer (if he isn't already.) How is your daughter? I think of you and her often.

Lisa said...

I am praying for him and his friend, I can't wait to hear when that young man becomes saved.
Good looking young man you have there, I am so happy for you that he is witnessing and loves the Lord.

Daphine said...

He is so handsome Debra!

I love progressive dinners. We were blessed to be a host home last year when our church did one. It was awesome!
