Crosslink "Tacky" Christmas Party!

Greg and I have been teaching the 20's (singles) at our church for two years now and have really enjoyed building the class and having the opportunity to serve this "non-existent" age group in most churches.  We both had been working in the youth department but had a great burden for where these kids would end up one day when they had to take ownership of their own faith...meaning no one would be telling them when and where to go to church.  Anyways this class has grown so much and it has been such a blessing to be part of God's work in each of their lives.  

Well you can imagine how much this class likes to "hangout":) and man can we throw a mean party with food galore (good food:) really good food!  This year for our Christmas party we decided to have a "tacky" Christmas theme.  Everyone was welcome to come in the tackiest Christmas outfits they could find.  Almost everyone dressed up which was fun and of course there were some who went above and beyond and it was hilarious!  We had a $25 gift card to the Cheesecake Factory for the tackiest outfit of the night.  Here is the winner:

Yep that's right those are green skinny jeans!  Too funny!  He ordered these jeans and sweater on-line
 and was by far the most decked out...well at least the most over the top...they were girl skinny jeans:)
Way to go Blake!

Here are some more pictures from the party...enjoy--it was so fun!

Josh didn't dress up so he stole Greg's vest..snazzy:)
