Okay, so....

Okay, so.... I've been busy. But as of last night, at around 9:15 p.m., my mind is free and clear. I have a new found boost of energy. I can sigh a big sigh of relief and move on to my daily duties and projects that plague me. Last night was our Relief Society Christmas dinner and program. I have been consumed by the preparations for this event for many weeks now, and I feel as if I can live my life tip toeing through the tulips. Okay, maybe not so fast. I have to teach the lesson in RS on Sunday. I know! But it's all good. I just have to keep telling that to myself, over and over and over.


The dinner and program turned out great! (Thank Heavens) I'm so mad that I forgot to take pictures, because they would've been priceless. The decorations were pretty, my ultra-talented friend and RS co-presidency member Holly and her loverly (yes, I meant to write loverly) sisters entertained the Regal Sisters of our ward with their angelic voices, instrumental pieces, and fun little anecdotes. I'm talking goosebumps, increased heart palpitations, and teary eyes, people! And Holly's clippity-clop actions, and her imitation of a neighing horse was priceless. Priceless. Oh how I wish I had my camcorder...


At the end of the evening, we had some of the children from the ward act out the nativity. So sweet and cute! My husband was the narrator (I only had to twist his arm a few times to get him to do this) and he did a wonderful job. He used his "spiritual" voice. When ever he reads spiritual material his voice softens and becomes angelic like. I'm pretty sure, a halo pops up above his head every time he uses his special voice. My friend, Amy, said he would make a good phone sex operator. Can you imagine it? "Hey babe, how 'bout slippin' into something more comfortable...like my bed. Ooooo yeahhhhhh."


Anyway, I'd like to take this moment to tell everyone that helped last night, and those that came, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!


Here's a picture of our beautiful Christmas tree. Can you hear the choirs of angels singing? Laaaaaaaaaa...



Here's a cute little guy. I made these gingerbread men out of muslin, then I stuffed them, painted them, sanded them, stained them in my special coffee, cinnamon and vanilla mixture, then glued on the cute little do-dads. They are some of my favorite things to make!

  10. I think it's hilarious that you liked the 'neighing' so much. And the clippity clop. I almost didn't do it because it's SOOOOOOO embarassing. But none of my other sisters would, so it fell on ME. RUDE!

    The whole evening turned out great. You did a FANTASTIC job!
