Primary- Family Service Project
In Novemeber the Primary at church asked each family of a primary child to pick thier own service project to do and to document it with pictures so they can hang them up on the bulletin board in Primary. What a great idea this was since it was the month of giving thanks it also really helped our family do something together.
Brad is the sewer in the family so I coridnated the project of making school kits for the Humanitarian Aid Services our church does. At lds.org we found the idea and instructions for the kits. The kids learned to sew a little and decorate the bags. Cole helped me shop for all the things we put inside the bag. We talked about how these bags will help kids who don't get supplies like these for school and how they have to walk to and from school, nothing like our kids who can ride a bus or car.

Relief Society Christmas Dinner 09
Christmas was in the air at another successful Relief Society Christmas dinner this year. The food was delicious and the Bishopric did a fabulous job on the speaking assignments. Libby Elliott made a sweet video of pictures with music about wisemen still seeking Christ, it really invited the spirit into the meeting. The decorating was very nice, special thanks to Cori and Louise. The table settings were done by several sisters and it was fun to see others style of decorations. Socializing with such good friends who seem like family is always the highlight. The Presidency made tiles for all the sisters who came, they said "Wisemen Still Seek Him" which was our theme for the evening. Thanks to Heidi Miller and her board for the planning of the meeting. Thanks to all who came and participated I know you went away feeling uplifted like I did.
Christmas Parade 2009
We got into the Christmas spirit by braving the cold at the Ashdown Christmas Parade. Cole and I just barely missed the Ashdown High School band where Victoria was twirlling her flag with the other color guards. We did see many creative floats go by and as you can see even horses and beauty queen's (didn't know there was such a thing as a Mrs. Senior beauty queen- there's still hope for me after all)even Santa came at the end on a fire truck. Santa was too shy for a picture maybe it was due to his cheap suit, or the amount of weight he's lost lately, anywho, he left the real suit and rain deer back at the North Pole. We survived the cold night and Cole came home with a beanie full of candy.
