Ward Christmas Party

Our annual Ward Christmas Party was on Thursday and it was, as always, so much fun!!!  The Bishopric took care of everything and the food was super yummy!!  The did roasted mini potatoes....mmmmmm good!! Roast beef, corn and salads!!  Every family was asked to bring a dessert and as usual everyone went above and beyond!!

The program was very well done too!!  The Primary put on the Nativity.  Emry was the most glorious and beautiful angel, Calum was the cutest shepherd ever and Armin was one handsome Wiseman!!  Our choir sang and did a good job.  Jared played the guitar for Emry while she sang "What Child Is This?" And she did amazing!!! Her voice is so true and easy to listen to!!  I was so proud of her, she had been so nervous the entire week leading up to her performance!!  But her voice didn't show even a hint of nervousness!!!  Leah and her friend sang a song together at the School Christmas Concert and were asked to perform at the Ward Party as well, they sang "O Come All Ye Faithful" acepella, and did a great job too!!

While we were eating dessert we got a special visit from Santa!!! The kids were beyond excited!!! Armin asked Santa for lego...totally doable...and a real monster truck, bigger than him....uh..... totally not doable!!!!  Calum asked for an X-box, for the second year in a row....ooops!!!!  Emry sat on Santa's lap with her two best friends, her cousins, and they seemed to have a blast!!!  I love that she is close with her cousins and I hope they always have a strong relationship!!

Santa was tickling Emry!!!

The best part of the night was having my dad there with us!! He's not able to be with us at Christmas so it was nice to celebrate part of the season with him before he had to head off to work.  We had a quick choir practice after the party and when we came out to round up the boys this is what we were greeted with:
