The Haps

We've been keeping ourselves busy this month with

THE WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY

(i was in charge of the decorations and Tommy was roped in to being my assistant with the ladder as well as the MC for the night.  He has informed me that I am not allowed to have any leadership role in another Christmas Party since he's been suckered into helping me with the last two, but as we all know in the church, that isn't how it works)

CHRISTMAS COOKIES

I turned around to find Jack eating a whole ball of dough!

GINGERBREAD HOUSES

A QUICK IMPROMPTU BIRTHDAY FOR PORTER 

(it was planned fast and executed fast and I may have taken one picture which I can't find at the moment)

A VISIT TO LIBERTY PARK TO VIEW THE LIVE NATIVITY

Porter was absolutely captivated with this!  I love it when you see the true meaning of Christmas be the thing that really catches the attention of a child.  You can't take pictures so I've got nothing to show.  But it was COLD so if you go be sure to bundle!

We've had work parties, friend parties and more!  Plus, I was released from the Relief Society presidency just to get called back in with a new President.  Looks like some more years of Weeknight Meetings (maybe one day my calling won't involve planning meetings for Young Women's, Scouts, the Ward, or the Relief Society, or maybe someone is trying to really help me learn how to be good at this and so far with all of these I haven't quite mastered it yet?)  But I feel blessed to have this calling and am learning and growing so much from it.  It is very humbling to be able to witness the trials and heartache and financial troubles of so many you would have never even realized and even more humbling to be able to serve them.

Merry Last Week of Christmas!
