Ward Christmas Party 2011

We finally made it to a ward party. It only took us about a year of living here. :) We had heard that in our big ward that the parties are packed with people and get a little bit crazy. After three years of being on the Activities committee in our last ward it was nice to just be able to go and sit. The Young Men did a nice Tri-tip dinner and it didn’t seem crazy at all to me. After we ate we visited Santa. I held Ethan during the Santa picture since he immediately started crying the second he saw the Big Jolly Man. After that we sang some Christmas songs and had a slide show Nativity. (Hope was in the slide show as one of the angels) It was great; Spiritual, and to the point. Afterwards we drove the kids through the “Disney Neighborhood” where everyone puts of Christmas lights and has Disney scenes. Bryce was hysterical about it. He would yell to us about everything he recognized. I’ve never seen him so excited about something. Hopefully we can hit more lights this season. It is not great timing for me, but Ethan just started climbing out of his crib. So we are now bed training and hoping we can keep him taking naps. Last night I was up with him for a few hours and Jared even took a shift with him trying to get him to stay in his room and sleep in a bed. This is one time when a Master’s bedroom downstairs is not ideal.
