MOVIE NIGHT

Last night the YSA had their first movie night in the Center for Young Adults.

They somehow have the ability to have such fun!

And we had fun watching them! The first thing they decided was to make the classroom into a theater, where the big screen and beamer were set up. It took about five minutes to dismantle and move the huge sofa to the classroom. It happened so fast, and we were getting such a kick out of it, that I almost forgot to take pictures!



Marc and Sven begin the dismantle.

Not a small task. The sections are connected by metal rods.


Some of our amazing women, Sara and Michelle!




I don't think Frank was trying to show off by carrying with one hand--

--were you, Frank?




Elder Grassli's birthday cake, white with lemon curd between layers and whipped cream on top.

They sang to him. He loved it!

Settled in with popcorn and cake (Saria and Dominic had made some chocolate cake, too) to begin the movie.

Saria, David, and Marc dig into cake.

Sven, the multi-tasker setting up the movie, "Bedtime Stories," and grabbing for popcorn all at once, as Dominik opens the milk!

After the movie, the inevitable playing began at the ping pong table. No photos because I joined them.

Just what kids love --Grandma playing their game! (wink, wink!)





By the end of the evening,
it had been a long birthday for Elder Grassli, bless him!

Next time dad needs to take a photo of you playing ping pong so your posterity can witness it too! How did the cake turn out? It looks yummy!

Happy birthday to Elder Grassli! The cake looks lovely. That's cool to see that Frank was there. We used to play some awesome football (soccer).
