Our ward Christmas party...

Friday night was our ward Christmas party.  We had such a great night with the friends in our ward.  We ate yummy food and watched a program that was written and directed by one of Madi's FAVORITE babysitters, McKinley (her other is Megan, McKinley's sister).  She casted the play with kids from our primary.  They had great props and a beautiful script.  McKinley is only eleven but it was one of the best programs I have seen.  Of course since I am in the Primary and I adore all those little kids it made it that much more special.

The gym was decorated so cute!  Thank you Stacie, Ammon, Emily, Matt and anyone else who helped to make it such a great night!

Madi made a new friend.  I should have got pictures but didn't even think about it.  There is the cutest little boy a few months younger than her, Bronson, that she played with.  She is so social!  I love it.  She kept playing with his hair.  He has a head full of curls.  I told his mom it was because she's jealous!  Her mullet is coming in nice!

With Madi off playing it gave me a few minutes to snuggle with Vivianne, one of Liseanne's adorable twins.  They were born just before Thanksgiving.  It makes me anxious for baby to come.  I was surprised that Madi wasn't at all jealous.  She did come over to see and got up on my lap and softly touched her hand and then got back down to play.  She is going to be such a goos big sister!  I am so very blessed to be her mom! 

Terrific Tuesday...

Our ward had a Terrific Tuesday this week in place of a Super Saturday. I love those. We have some amazing talent in our ward and it is so nice that they are willing to teach and share their ideas. I made this super cute door hanger and a set of three Christmas tree blocks.

A HUGE thank you to Liseanne who is only five weeks away from delivering her sixth AND seventh babies. She came up with the ideas and cut out the wood. She really is super mom! Thanks Liseanne!

Ward Christmas Party...

We had our ward Christmas party last Friday. We only stayed for dinner since Madi was sick, but the food was SOOO good! They had chicken cordon bleu, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, green beans and chicken nuggets and mac and cheese for the kids. Everyone brought desserts and we had a great time! We had so many comments on how cute Madi's hat is. We love it too! Mommy and Madi

We're done...

We spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday and I have to say that I think we did okay. I took up most of the time so Derrick only had about 8 minutes. He had prepared such a great talk and had to cut it down and just use some stuff. He will have to use it another time. Sorry babe! It is nice to be done with it though and not have to worry about it any more. Now life can get back to normal.

On Saturday our ward had a ward service project. We did yardwork for some of the members in our ward. we were originally supposed to do 7 houses but ended up doing 11! It was awesome to see all the people who showed up to help and all the work that got done. We have a great ward and we are really starting to enjoy the members.
