On Saturday, December 3rd, we attended our ward's Christmas party. It was an evening all about "JOY" so we were asked to bring our favorite appetizer and dessert that brought us joy to share with everyone else. Those who arrived on time that evening were entered into a drawing for a prize basket. It was amazing to see how motivated people were to arrive early with this as the incentive!
After feasting on yummy food and desserts, we went around to various parts of the church building to create a gift of "joy" for someone this season. We worked in families to make and wrap various items to give to a person or family of our choosing.
Of course we always have a great time being surrounded by our ward family.
We even got to take another picture with Santa for the third time in 24 hours. As you can see, Nolan was thrilled!!
At the end of the evening, we gathered together once again to sing Christmas carols and watch a short video about service. It was a unique and fun way to bring the spirit into our lives and ward family members.
