GSM Costume Party

Tonight was our annual costume party specifically for Grand Student Ministry. It was soooooo much fun! There were 100+ people there, and there was so much energy in the room. The students costumes were so creative this year!

You can always count on Aaron to kick things up a notch. This year he was a friar/monk. He had his head (professionally) shaved and everything! We wanted our costumes to go together in a way, so I was a nun. Korben went as his favorite character in the world, Elmo. Korben was such a good boy, and actually wore his costume! I dressed him in it while he had an audience of people cheering and telling him how cute he looked. He obviously liked the attention, because not only was he willing to wear the costume...he actually wore the Elmo head (which he hadn't done before)! He probably only had the costume on 15 minutes at the most because he went to the nursery while the party was actually going on, but before it started he got to greet everyone while he was still dressed as Elmo. I took his hood off of him for a little while because I knew his head was getting hot. One of our students had just arrived at the party and she walked up to Korben, he then actually tried to put his hood back on and said "Melmo." It was so sweet! He wanted her to see his full costume, so she could see that he was "Melmo." Made my night.























































































































































Korben with his great drummer buddy, Adam Lucas!



























Amy Goodrum dressed as Hannah Morehart! I LOVED this costume! She had a red wig that looked just like Hannah's hair, made a dance team outfit to look like her, had Hannah's face on a mask, and even mimicked her laugh. Incredibly creative!

















































THEEEEE biggest hilight of my night was seeing Connor McGinnis walk in dressed as Aaron. I instantly knew he was dressed up as Aaron because he looked JUST like him. He had him down to a "T." Paisley shirt, flip flops, gelled/spiked hair, glasses, gotee on chin, and to top it all off...A RED HEADED BABY. I walked up to him laughing my head off, and he proceeded to ask the "Korben" doll to give me the rock! TOTALLY something Aaron would do.














































Swine Flu. I loved this!





















The Grand Student Ministry Staff. Taylor is dressed as her big brother, Brandon Stokes (former intern), Callie dressed as Brittany (Aaron's secretary), Hannah dressed as Scott (our worship leader, who is also a math teacher...notice the calculator watch), and of course, Connor dressed as Aaron.



















I don't know if any of you watch "The Office", but are these not dead-ringers for Jim and Pam?? ESPECIALLY PAM!!!
