The Month of Janelle

We've renamed the month of May. Get used to seeing blogs about Janelle! She turns 16 on May 28, but the celebration is lasting more than one day.
It started with a party with her "church friends" (this is pretty much the entire grade 8-12 female population of the church). For those of you who are familiar with Hillsongs United (a Christian worship band), they have created a feature length movie highlighting the band as they tour around the world. They had a special "pre-release" one-night-only showing in movie theatres across Canada (it comes to the U.S. later - we're more special up here!!) last Wednesday night. So Janelle gathered her church friends for pizza and presents at our house, followed by a trip to the movie theatre. It was, apparently, "AWESOME"!

This is the gang before the movie. Don't they look like a real quality group of young women? Janelle has great taste in friends!
OK, here they are looking a little less normal.
That's Ashley, our youth pastor's wife, on the far left in the back. Janelle invited her to come, but told me I wasn't invited. Janelle's exact words: "Sorry, Mom, but Ashley's way cooler than you."
The others are (left to right):
Back row: Fraikua, Janelle, Karyssa, Marriya
Front row: Cari, Amanda, Marissa
Look for more updates during the month of Janelle as she celebrates with the family on the 28th and her school friends on the 31st!

Happy bday little baby niece. I don't have your email, assuming you have one, or else I would harass you on that. Happy 16th (no way!) birthday. I always thought that youth pastors and their wives are much cooler than the parents...just ask my youth group.
