Tis the Season for Parties!

I got to go to lunch with Kent today and then spent some time with my Mom before I came home and got the girls off the bus. I love getting to go to lunch with Kent! It is like a super special almost taboo date, it always makes me giddy. I get to spend precious extra moments in the day with my wonderful husband, not to mention getting to eat out! ;) It was especially nice today as I was having a 'blue' day and any time spent with Kent always cheers me up.

Tonight was our Ward Christmas Party. I love our Ward Party because it is pretty laid back and isn't bogged down with a long program or the requirement of formal dress. We had a very tasty dinner of ham, green beans, baked potatoes, salad, rolls and cake for dessert. I especially loved the ranch dressing, it was so tasty! It came from the B.Y.U. creamery and although I am usually not a big ranch fan, I really think I will be buying all my ranch dressing from them...it was that good! I made several trips to get more salad just to eat the ranch dressing. :)

The program after dinner consisted of the congregation singing a few songs, then the Ward Choir sang a few songs, then the Primary children sang a few songs, then a Brother in our ward read a story, then the congregation sang another song, we had a closing prayer (Kent gave it) and it was time to clean up and go home! :) A great day topped only by the fact I didn't have to cook lunch or dinner! ;) :)

Our ward party is this coming Friday. I like your ward's idea of singing songs! Our Primary actually has to put on a full blown skit - mercy. Your kids are so cute, It's always fun to see your girls when they are around. (:

And lunch dates do feel special! I love when Mark and I are able to meet up for lunch, and take that break away form our work days. :D
