Ward Christmas Breakfast






Well, it was dumping snow as the guys were trying to cook French Toast OUTSIDE but all in all the ward breakfast was great. We had a live band, great food, a visit from Santa and a super fun arts and crafts station for the kids. Of course, I'm biased because I organized the kids activities but they did have a blast. We colored felt Christmas puzzles, Made 3D Nativity scenes, and Jingle Bell necklaces. The cutest of all the kids were the Clarks who were dressed as elves and Santa. Then it was off to the kids last soccer games of the season. Chase has really done great on his school soccer team. He scores several goals every game and is really starting to understand passing and positions. He team won every game this season by a ton! Caden, who was the family soccer stud in the Fall, has had quite the opposite season. His team lost every single game and he seems to have lost his soccer skills as well. We think he must still be daydreaming about the ocean. Oh well - his team does win for being the cutest!

oh bummer for Caders! He will get back into it in the spring!
The ward PARTY sounds fun. Did you guys end up going sledding after?

The weather is absolutley AWESOME Here in Hawaii! I love it here, and I can't get Boston out of the Ocean. He is like a fish (or a shark ;0) The waves are so HUGE and we are pretty much in Paradise...Hurry and get here, or answer your Phone!

Sounds like fun. We tried to do something like that but the idea got nixed by our bishop, who thought we needed to do the traditional Christmas dinner for all the somewhat actives or inactives that come out of the woodwork at Christmastime. But, it was a lot of fun, even though half our bulb lights went out right before everyone got there!

Maybe I am just really out of the loop, but I didn't know of anyone cutting their head open at Myla's party or anyone getting hurt! I thought we made it through the evening hurt/pain-free... who knows?!?

Sounds like the ward christmas breakfast was awesome, good job! We were going to be late and called Troy and he said all the french toast was gone, so Dusty just went and got our family breakfast @ Magleby's and brought it home to us!
