Let the Festivities Begin!

This week the Young Women came over for our annual Christmas party. We ate lots of good food, visited, played games, and topped off the night with an exciting round of "White Elephant." I stole the cutest Strawberry Shortcake coloring book and crayons, only to have them stolen from me later on- boo hoo. I ended up with a ceramic teddy bear pencil holder and a chocolate candy cane- hooray!

Aren't the girls lovely?

They are so silly too!

Us Leaders are lovely too! Wait, what are you doing Laura?

Hey now Sonia!

Okay, well we're definitely silly too!!
