New Year's Eve Party

Posted by: Grace
A New Year is here!!  What a joy!!  This year we hosted a New Year's Eve Party.  At the party we had snacks, worship, fellowship, and a Talent Show. 


Each year we aim to make a Jesus Cake.  It is a Pistachio and Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.  This year Patience decorated it. It was very tasty.    

Patience also made some yummy peppermint bark.  We made a gingerbread Christmas tree and house too (see them in the background?). 





Some good friends of ours brought this delicious desert.  It is like a Reese's and deliciously scrumptious! To our greatest dismay, when we first tasted the recipe, they claimed it to be "secret", and that it was for a while...until we shared  favorite recipe with them. Fair trade, huh? We thought so!



Fellowship time was wonderful too.

 

The talent show was very fun.  We had people sharing songs, jokes, skits and more!  We had a contest and judged by the funniest and most professional performance. 
A couple we know skillfully performed a skit/song. It was all impromptu, which made it funnier, because they forgot their lines. :p  So Mr.Wilkes jumped in near the middle with the words on his iphone and did a little cowboy jig, which broke the awkwardness of not knowing their lines into hilarious laughter. 
I forgot to take pictures of the talent show. :( Oppsies...
Then we worshiped until midnight. When the clock struch twelve, we played on any instrument we could get our hands on as loud as we possibly could. From trombones to harps and from pot pan lids to whistles. Despite the all the noise, it was literally a "blast"!
