This little one is quite spunky. I've yet to see him back down from a challenge. He handled this scenario quite well after a retake. Again, I can't say enough how pleased I am that the boys are comfortable making mistakes and trying again. Gush, gush, gloat, gloat. . .really, thank you Jesus!

 Our Christmas party for 2011. After a rainy week God promised me good weather this morning as I talked to Him about the day, and good weather it was! The kids had fun and so did the adults. The food was great.  I have to call the chef and thank her. Here the boys are doing their thing for the camera.

Striking poses as only boys can!














The girls with their candy canes!

Food having been served, the kids gravitated to the only table that was available that evening. Although some one had locked up all the chairs and there was only this table, we made do with kiddie chairs, lively music and lots of good cheer (pun intended;-)) Moving out of the picture at the left is the lady who keeps the place tidy for us to enjoy ourselves.

This one is more complete and is quite funny. The whole idea was to say no to drugs, but the younger boy who is only now just old enough to start coming to Youth Link on a regular basis, was a clear push over for the "drug dealer" and everyone dissolved into laughter at his actions. (So true in real life though, so we'll be bringin up this topic soon!)

This clip is from our Christmas party. The skits were fun and quite funny too. Even when they didn't quite get it right, the boys seemed happy. I loved their overall confidence and how comfortable they are with making mistakes in front of their friends. They're really growing!
