Ward Christmas Party

Saturday night was our annual ward Christmas party. As co-chairs of the activities committee, Ian and I had a front row seat to the behind-the-scenes work that goes into pulling off such a party. It was an eye-opener. Things went really well...mostly due to the amazing committee and ward members that pitched in and helped pull it off.

For me the highlight of the evening was the short video we put together of the primary kids. I had such a fun time talking with all of these sweet children and was absolutely amazed at the faith and spirit behind most of their answers. It made me realize how absolutely innocent these children of our Heavenly Father really are...and how much responsibility I have, as a mother of three of them, to teach them the truths they need to know in this life. 


My only regret is that I didn't have more time to talk with more kids. But I was pretty pleased with what we were able to throw together with such short notice.

A BIG thanks to everyone who contributed and helped make the Christmas party so much fun. The committee rocked, my friends were amazing, and everyone's food was DELICIOUS! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

P.S. For those of you who would like a DVD-quality copy of the video let me know.

We missed your party becuase we had a work one- and they give out TV's and stuff... But I am so glad you put the video on here, I heard all about it and it is hilarious!! That is so creative and cute, esp in a ward with more kids than adults!

That was so cute! I wish the boys would have been able to be on the video and at the party! We miss our old ward and all the great friends we have there.
