Ward Christmas Party

So I am on the ward activities committee and it was time again for a party. Dont get me wrong cause I love to party and plan parties but six weeks between the Halloween Party and Christmas Party is just not enough. It feels like I have been thinking/worrying about parties for months and I am such a perfectionist that I always feel like it could have been better but from what I hear it turned out awesome and I thought it was good.


My friends, Charmaine & Leilani (just a little bit, j/k) helped me decorate. We had so much fun talking and being goofy until 1:30am, so the next morning I was a little grouchy. Sam took the brunt of my grouchiness (real word?) because everytime I asked him to do something he would ask why and I was so not in the mood to explain everything so I kept saying/yelling "Just do it, and stop asking why!"


We had a breakfast party with a dutch oven breakfast casserole that was so yummy. The muffins and cinnamon rolls weren't too shabby either. Everything went well except we didn't have time for the 12 days of Christmas that Charmaine had planned and I was bummed about that but we are determined to do it next year.


The kids, of course, loved Santa and we (really just Charmaine) had the foresight to bring a camera to take pictures with Santa and everyone who didn't bring a camera loved that. I printed them right away and handed them out at church today. We did have a few mix ups that I need to get pictures switched around but over all people loved it.


So our big parties are done for the year and it is time to think about some kind of party in February, March, or April. So I love crazy themes and so I was thinking St. Patricks Day and dye the food green but this grouchy old lady told me "I would never eat anything dyed green!" ha ha. If you have any cool ideas let me know.
