We had a few young people over to fill up our living room last night.
empty rooms bore us
It was what we like to call a "fireside."
in keeping with the occasion, we actually lit a fire
What's on the tube?
a CES (Church Educational System) broadcast
They look pretty interested, don't they?
I didn't hear a peep out of 'em
They couldn't all fit in one room, so we used two.
hello, family room
Good thing we are the DVR masters.
well, at least we didn't screw it up this time
What's up with that pillow guy on the couch?
guess he's camera shy
Of course, food was the order of the day evening.
ain't it always
They grabbed some on the way in and on the way out.
these guys are equal opportunity eaters
Glad they stuck around afterwards to brighten our lives for awhile.
these two are pretty shiny =)
And also to chat each other up, of course.
Girls do love to chat.
Guys, too, right?
too bad they have to do it behind light fixtures
Some prefer to do their chatting as couples.
And some like to make faces at the camera lady...
nice one, Luke
THANKS FOR COMING OVER, EVERYBODY.
SEE YA FOR FAMILY HOME EVENING LATER THIS MONTH!
(bring your appetites)

I love that you have such a good time hosting them. It makes me wish I were one of your YSAs. Almost.
I've gotten behind on my blogs since we spent the weekend in UT. I LOVED your post on mothering. I even had to mention it to pregnant Heidi.
And you are such a perfect couple for these YSA. They are lucky to have you.
That looks like so much fun. My in-laws just e-mailed yesterday that they got their YA center up and running in Prague. They're so excited. They're on a mission over there, and they're always writing about how many YA's they're feeding.
so cool that you do that...so when am i getting invited...smiles.
Just say "food" and most YSA will be there! Looked like it was fun and how nice to have such a happy and big group. We like to have similar get togethers with the YM/YW, only usually it involves an outside fire...costumes sometimes...or lots of snow for sledding!
Looks like a fun time was had by all! You are so thoughtful to host these meetings for the youth.
YSA's are the best, (and the worst too). I'm sure you are appreciated.

Oh fun! That WAS an awesome broadcast...what a great group!
It looks like everyone had a good time and enjoyed all that good food too. Hugs
Sigh, reading this makes me wish I were still a YSA. Such a fun time! And I do miss those CES Broadcasts. What a wonderful evening they must have had, and how wonderful of you for hosting it!
I had some leaders like you all when i was a young adult. What a blessing you are to them.
I just love the young people right now. How fun that you could host two whole rooms full of them. You guys are the funnest ever!
What they said!
A CES broadcast, great food to eat while coming and going, and a loving open home...what more could anyone ask for!
so fun! love firesides and youth.
they're lucky to have you guys!
Sue!
This is wonderful and looks like so much fun. There is nothing more inspirational than a gathering of good young people. It gives great hope for our future. Thanks for the reminder.
Namaste..........cj
