And the winner is...

Seriously...you are missing out because you did not see this sweatshirt in real life! Picture if you will, the mantle on this sweater is actually protruding from Grant's chest and the stockings are dangling from the mantle! Priceless!!! He really took this contest seriously!!! :-)Surprisingly, Grant only came in second place!

We had over one hundred high school students show up for the Christmas party...but I would say only about two dozen of them actually sported ugly sweaters!!! Oh well!

But the ugly sweater contest paled in comparison to the talent show. Our students definitely brought their best to show off! We had several dancers, a country western singer, two grass-roots bands, a rare performance with an ocarina...(yes, that is spelled correctly!) and of course...we had the Jonas brothers!!! I laughed so hard I had tears coming down - these students took their performances very seriously - and rightly so, they had big shoes to fill from last year's talent show! But I can honestly say that I think they superseded our expectations! We have some amazing students in our youth group and it was so good to see them truly take pride in their youth group and just kick back and have a great time with each other!!
