Christmas Dessert Social

Why do I worry about sign ups?  Why do I worry about attendance?  Why do I worry period?  My Ward always comes through, we ended up only having 15 signups for the Christmas Party and we had about 32 desserts show up.  I was worried about attendance because people complained about it being on a Friday night, and you know what  - we had about 170 there!  The Primary craft project was great, Santa was awesome and it was such a nice relaxed activity.  I love the ward when things happen like that!

I was worried my kids would feel neglected...

because I was running the activity, but Keegan took care of them...well the girls anyway! (see last nights post)

I was worried they wouldn't have any fun...

because the youth helped take care of them and they were fine!

I was worried about not getting any good pictures...

but I did of everyone AND my kids!

*funny story - Santa asked Lucas what he wanted for Christmas.

Lucas - "I really really want the GIANT 85 dollar firetruck that my mom says I can't have until I am bigger, like at least 5"

Santa - Wow, well if that's what your mommy says, then---(Lucas interrupts)

Lucas - "I know she is the boss"

Santa - That's right - but I know you are being a good boy---(Lucas interrupts)

Lucas - "I haven't even had an accident in years!"

Santa - (puzzled) Good for you Lucas! ...Now, Bridget what would you like for Christmas?"

Lucas - "She really wants me to have that firetruck Santa"

Santa - (hysterically laughing) Well she is a very nice sister

Lucas - "I guess so, excepts she is still in a diaper"

Thought I'd share that.

Lucas spread some Christmas Cheer, while Bridget caught up with her friend Camryn.

It was a great turn out, great desserts and we were home by 9:20...SCORE!

I am glad its over and ready to set up the Christmas decorations in the house...since we used OUR tree for the party! :)
