Charlie’s school Christmas party!

This is the snowman family I made for Charlie’s teacher!  They turned out too cute!

All wrapped up and ready to deliver!

I drew and painted these for the games I was in charge of for the Kindergarten Christmas party!

We did pin the red nose on Rudolph and Snow ball toss! 

Oh I love all these cute kiddos! 

It has been fun volunteering once a week in Charlie’s class.  I have had the opportunity to work with and get to know these sweetie pies!

Santa came and surprised the class!  They were so excited!

Girl’s Night!

My adorable friend who I love to pieces, hosted a wonderful Girl’s Night at her home!

Dayna is amazing; and the most talented lady!

Dayna was hiding from the camera…..he he he I was too! 

She prepared the most delicious food!

 

Oh and the Grinch punch was so yummy!

This is Emily and Lisa!  Emily is my Second Counselor and Lisa is my First Counselor in the Primary Presidency!  I love these ladies!

This is the fun game Dayna made for us to play!  We had a great time getting to know one another better.

Dayna taught us to make these adorable word blocks.  Great food, girl talk and making crafts, does it get any better?    We had the best time!

Thank you, thank you Dayna! 

This is the set I made!

We finished the evening wrapping the teacher gifts for all the teachers and those that we serve with in Primary!   Just call us Christmas elves! 

Steven’s Birthday!

 

We went to Steven’s favorite restaurant for dinner.

 

While there he opened his birthday card from Dad! (he is on the phone with dad while he opened his card)

   Dad surprised him with a $700 check so Steven could buy a new lap top for school!  He was so excited!

Robert and I got him a new mouse!
