We Wish You a Merry Christmas


The season just doesn't seem complete without sharing a bit of holiday cheer through some good Christmas music, so last night we all bundled up to brave the COLD and went Christmas Caroling. By the end my face was so cold, I had lost almost all feeling in my cheeks, but seeing the smiling faces on our dear neighbors as we sang made it worth it a hundred times over.

After a little hot chocolate and doughnuts in a warm house surrounded by good company, we were all back to normal... cheeks and all. : )

Christmas Dinner


This month's Young Men/Young Women Combined activity was a big night. We had the pleasure of preparing and serving a holiday dinner with all the trimmings to a roomful of our favorite brothers and sisters in the ward.

Everyone had a job, and did it well. The Deacons provided strong arms and big smiles to escort the guests in from the parking lot. The Beehives were buzzing from table to table serving food and clearing plates. The Mia Maids and Teachers worked the room to keep everyone mingling while the Laurels and Priests conducted interviews and recorded the guests telling stories of Christmases gone by.

The evening was brimming with Christmas spirit, and it looked like everyone had a great time. Special thanks go to Sister Vermillion and Sister Graham for the MANY hours of hard work they put into pulling the night together.
