Ward Christmas party

For the most part, it was just an ordinary ward dinner.
No Santa or Nativity. No program.

But then… they opened up the back partition and they revealed the most perfect 'kid station,' that they set up so that all the adults could just talk and hang out while the kids were entertained. The primary presidency had all these fun stations for the kids; button ornament making, paper plate angels, coloring station, pin the nose on rudolf, shake the bells out of a tissue box, wrapping bow relay races, and puppet making.

 Stori was a little hesitant to go in without me at first, but Sylvie marched right in there, sat at the coloring station, and never looked back. After about 30 minutes she got up and went to another station, where she stayed most of the night.

Our kids were the last ones to leave, and both still cried when we had to take them home. (at 9:30!!!! we got there at 6)
It sure was a lot of fun!
