Ward Roller Skating Party

We had the most fun ward activity last month -- we went roller skating! Twin Falls has a rink and they gave us a great deal, so a large portion of the ward met up on a Wednesday night and skated for several hours. We had races, couples skating, backwards skating, disco ball, etc. and everyone had a terrific time. It was especially fun to see the YM/YW, Primary kids, and adults all having a great time together.

This was Jack's reaction when we told him it was time to go home.

This was his reaction when we promised him we could come again soon!

This was Brad's reaction when Jack finally stopped crying.

Jack was the Energizer Bunny... He loved skating all by himself. :)

Kate had a great time as well. We really didn't see much of her or Todd the entire night. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of Todd because it was so dark. Use your imagination. :)

Santa Claus is Comin' To Town

Our annual Ward Christmas party was a big hit again this year. After a yummy dinner the primary children performed a simple nativity. They each prepared their own costume and learned 6 or 7 new primary songs and hymns. We had a narrator tell the story from the scriptures, then the kids acted out the parts and sang the songs . It was adorable. I wish I had pictures, but I was leading and forgot to hand my camera to someone beforehand. I did get pictures of the kids visiting with Santa, however, so all is not lost! Note that Jack is VERY happy to sit on Santa's lap. He laughed and giggled and talked up a storm. Definitely the first of our kids to ever greet Santa warmly before the age of 4. :)
