This is...

This is what our youth group looks like, on any given night.

This is a side profile of Christian's hair cut.  Which I did.  Which doesn't look too bad, thankfully.

This is our friend Zack, and he is pretty amazing and doing so well.  Thank you Jesus.

This is anticipation.

This is Luke.

This is Snakes on a Plane.  The game, not the actual happenings.  

This is a microphone, which is something that you use when you have a lot of people in a relatively little room.

This is more Snakes on a Plane.

This is one of our amazing leaders.

This is Jer... in the background.

This is the kind of face that you make and then your Mom tells you not too, because it might freeze that way.

This is listening to instructions.

This is a great kid.

This is more of those faces.

This is Ellee, entertaining others by her funny stories.

This is a group of amazingness.

This is

what it looks like

when you play a game

that your husband made up

involving Taylor Swift songs (that some people love and others not so much) and a tiny Christmas light.

This is one of the most wonderful people I think I will ever know.

This is part of our team of dedicated leaders.  We love them very much.

This is more.

This is the picture that you take and then you show the amazing girls in it, and most of them actually like it and they tell you this.

This is the second picture that you take of the same said group of girls, because you have taken so many pictures over the years, that you know that some will like the first one and some will like the second.

This is a great picture, of a great group of guys.

This is Ellee and our amazing friend Jen.  We love her so much and are so excited that she is helping out in Youth Group this year.  

This is another amazing leader.  She was a student last year, and now she's a leader, and when that sort of thing happens in your youth group, you feel a great sense of pride and thankfulness that God has brought such great people into your life and your ministry.

And this is the end of my long, but informative post about how things are on any given night at our youth group.  Thanks for reading.
