Daddy Daughter Banquet 2012

This weekend was our church's 2nd annual Daddy/Daughter Banquet. May I just say, we really know how to throw a party. It was lovely. Our team of volunteer decorators, bakers, crafters, servers, cupcake frosters, photographers, grillers and dishwashers is amazing! It takes a lot of people to pull off what we did this weekend and our children's ministry team really stepped it up this weekend. THANK YOU!!!!!

Thank you to Rebecca & Tracy who came over to my house with mixers in hand and joyfully baked 650+ cupcakes in 7.5 hours! It was a lot but I really did enjoy it. Yall are so fun.

Yes, over 650 cupcakes in four flavors - Vanilla, Oreo, Chocolate Mint, and Chocolate Bacon.

 Over 200 pieces of chicken breast grilled on one huge BBQ pit by our handy grill masters and kitchen crew Gary, Tommy, and Buddy.

And one strange cook who looks like Julia Childs after a long day in the kitchen.  

And two sweet boys who were so patient and helpful with the taste testing. 

And a big thank you to the team of volunteers who planned, prepared and pulled off turning a stinky gym into this amazing banquet hall. It looked amazing and to see the faces of those little girls as they arrived and looked around in wonder, I hope you know your efforts were worth it. 

Finally, to my husband Stanley, the most amazing Children's Pastor I know, I love you. Your love for children and families and passion for telling them about Christ inspires me to want to serve more. It is an honor to serve in ministry along side you. Thank you for all you do.
