Ward Christmas Party



My excuse for Hazel's lame party was that I was in charge of the Ward Christmas Party that was the Friday after her birthday and John was gone up until the last moment for me to get things accomplished. I actually had a great time at the party but I wished I would have picked out my kids things at home. I explained to John what was happening at the party and this is what they arrived in:



Jess gave us the cutest angel dress EVER and it sat at home in the closet:) Every other family brought their children in appropriate clothing so the video is priceless :) Other than our clothes our kids did a great job during the program. The theme for the party was "Shine". The primary did a beautiful program that talked all about us sharing the light of christ when we "shine". They even sang I am like a Star shining brightly and then played the Chimes with it. I LOVED IT!! The Three Wiseman arrived (bishopric) and handed out treat bags with the symbols of Christmas in them. The families all took home homemade porcelain stars that said Shine on them. We had announced earlier that we would be collecting strips of white paper for people to share their good works and had been collecting for about 6 weeks. They were chained together and part of the decorations.

There are things you learn doing things in bulk but I really thought it was fun and about all I could handle under the circumstances :)
