Ward Christmas Party

So this is the reason why I'm behind on blogging. I'm still on the activities committee and I was in charge of decorations for our ward Christmas party. So I was busy getting ready for the party. I asked a lady in my ward to help me out with the decorations and she went a little over the top. I was just thinking a few trees with lights around the gym and we were good, but she had this very detailed and elaborate plan. So I went with it and it was very time consuming and lots of hard work, but the end result was fabulous. I think we spent like three days decorating. It was crazy! We strung up lights all around the gym, wrapped the tables like presents, made trees for table decorations, blew up balloons and made snowflakes. We actually had lots of help with the snowflakes from various families in the ward. And the morning of the party we had lots of people show up to help us finish setting up. And it really did look awesome. We had snowflakes hanging down from the ceiling all over the cultural hall. It was really neat. And we got lots of great compliments. I just wish more people showed up. We planned for like 250 people and only about 150 showed up. But I'm just glad that it's over with and I can get back to my own Christmas chaos.

Our cute present table

On the round tables we did these cute trees that we made and had various people decorate.

It looked really pretty with the lights off.

I didn't have my camera when they first sat on Santa's lap. I put Logan in between them and he didn't like Santa at all. He screamed and cried. Afton and Dax loved him though. This was there second time sitting on his lap.

Dax and Avery singing.

Afton and Dax are suppose to be singing. I don't know what they're doing here. Probably talking to each other.

Here we are setting up our own Christmas decorations. They kids had fun putting all the ornaments on the tree and we had to Logan proof the tree. So all of the ornaments are 3 feet or higher.

Our cute button snowflakes we made at Thanksgiving.

Merry Christmas!
