a more extensive recount of the birthday bbq

our day began by cleaning up the house and moving some new furniture in, as ben had just moved out the previous day.


ryan cutting a hole in the new entertainment center. it now sits in our living room, not with a tv, but with a painting of jesus. why? because ben took his tv when he moved out. jerk.


guests began to arrive around 4pm, beginning with the greener family.






as the afternoon progressed, more folks began to come and go.


after it got dark, we built a fire in the back yard.


conversation began to escalate, and things got serious, as grace and ben began to argue theology.


things began to get physical, innuagurating the first annual battle between anglicansim and orthodoxy.

big ben vs irrestable grace

stay posted for the announcement of the second annual.


anglicanism won, but we're not sure that the outcome had anything to do with a superior doctrine.


emily super excited about the victory of her denomination, or maybe she was just excited about the s'mores.


things calmed down as we sat by the fire some more. matt larsen came.


jonathan enjoys his new birthday tobacco from british ben.


as the night wore on, things digressed. here joel leads a sing-a-long of everyone's favorite middle-school youth group songs.

others chose to eat weird combinations of the leftover food.

we all went to bed about 4am, concluding the 12 hour party.
