Christ- "The Greatest Gift"

Since I am Enrichment leader in our branch I thought I'd post what we did for our Christmas Enrichment. I chose the theme Christ"The Greatest Gift". I wanted everyone to reflect on our Savior and his life. We watched the slideshow "Reflections of Christ" on a big screen in the R.S. room. I had the lights off and had a few lamps and Christmas trees to light the room with a table decorated with his picture and garland. It looked really beautiful..... after watching the slideshow I passed around a candle and asked if everyone would share one thing that they are grateful for.It was really inspiring and set the mood as we began the month of December. I only wish I a better turn out. I went to a lot of work to make it a special night and didn't get as many people there as I had planned. But, for those that were there I think it was really appreciated.

On the tables I put wrapped packages with a picture of Christ with battery operated candles on the tables. Everything was color coordinated of course ..... :) this is the favor we wrapped up-it's a crystal ornament with a picture of the Savior and a little girl holding a candle entitled"Light of the World".

We are so blessed! From the words of President Hinckley " No Man who ever walked the Earth has touched more lives than Jesus of Nazareth. He is our Savior, our Redeemer. He is the Prince of Peace, the Holy One. We love him. We honor Him. We respect Him. We worship Him."

Merry Christmas my dear friends!! Love to you all!!

Santa Baby....

A king size bed PLEASE!!!!! Someday soon when we move into a house I have to get a king size bed. We are like sardines in our queen bed especially because little guy likes to snuggle right in between us.

Just a little something for me.....

A dustbuster... I know it's a practical gift. But, I am practical and besides I need it to get all those crumbs around the highchair! By the way, I've been a very good girl this year Santa!!!! :)

Where does he get that RED HAIR???

This is a question I get asked every single time I have Drew with me and we are shopping, running errands, etc. Is your husband a red head they ask? No, I say. He's actually bald but when he had hair it was dark brown/black just like mine. Where does he get the red hair??? As you can see from his cousin Chloe here who is my sister's daughter somewhere in the family there was a redhead!!! I suspected it was our Great Grandmother Annie from Ireland. But, it was actually our Great Grandmother Eva from England.

Don't you think these two look alike? Chloe is actually a spitting image of me when I was little except I had dark brown hair. Her hair was exactly like Drew's when she was younger. Just like a copper penny and now it has gotten lighter.

Truth be told, Wade's sister has red hair and my dad's brother also has red hair. So, it comes from both sides. Wade just likes to act like it's such a mystery! :)
