Ward Christmas Party 2012


This year the Bishopric asked me to be in charge of the Ward Christmas Party. (I guess I shouldn't have opened my mouth in front of the Relief Society President.) I had quite a few things planned out...and then a member of the Bishropric approached me with a great idea. Once we talked a few things over, we were off and running.

It took a lot of planning and preparation, but I really think it was a hit.  We had a dinner, during dinner entertainment, a light show and then a Whoville Play. 

I had to document how scary it was for me to watch the Kerr men putting up the sign.  I thought Tacie would enjoy it as well!  Winking smile

it was a balancing act…on the top of some very high ladders!

I will say, that there was a LOT of resistance to my changing the normal ham dinner with a potato bar. A LOT of grumbling and complaining, but I have heard nothing but compliments on it and "thank you's" for the change. :)

What wonderful memories you are giving to your kids! They will never forget this fun thing their Mom and Dad did for them.

You did an AMAZING job. How many parties have you been in charge of this year? 15? I guess if you know how to do something, keep doing it.

BTW - based on his fabulous performance, I think Luke needs his own blog post on how awesome he was
