Ward Christmas Party

This was my second event as Ward Activities Chairperson. Of course there were glitches, but my goal was to have an activity that would invite the Spirit and showcase the many talents in our ward. I think that goal was achieved! Of course, no Christmas party would be complete without a visit from Old St. Nick - so after the "reverent" presentation, we had a visit from Santa.

The best part of the entire evening was Peyton finally went up to Santa and got close enough for us to get a picture! In years past, she has been afraid of Santa and I was sure she would do a repeat at this party. But I've been talking to her often about Santa and sitting on his lap to tell him what she wants for Christmas. She stood right beside him and when he asked what she wanted, Peyton said, "A Barbie jeep car with a telephone." And Santa replied, "well, you better tell your daddy to clean out his garage so you can park your car in there!" Santa REALLY does know everything!
