Merry Christmas!

As it is Christmas Eve, I just wanted to remind everyone that church is only 1 hr tomorrow. (YAY!!!- wait, did I just type that out loud? lol) Anyway it is at 11am at the 108 building. Only Sacrament. I hope that everyone has a beautiful holiday season and that your relationship with the savior grows as we celebrate his birth!

My family just adores Kid History. Here is their newest one, the Christmas one. If you haven't seen episodes 1-6 then please take time to watch them. They are hilarious and our family quotes them on a daily bases.

Sock It to Me!

Our R.S. Christmas Activity is this Fri (dec. 9th) and I guess that there has been some confusion as to the sock exchange. To make it easier- I will include some directions (wink, wink)

Step 1: Go pick out cute, funny, ridiculous, beautiful, fuzzy, colorful, tacky or comfy socks from a store. (depending on your personality) Please don't pay more than $4 or $5. (They really should be new)

Step 2: Bring your socks home and wrap them. Please keep the package unmarked (no name tags)

Note: This is pretty much a white elephant exchange only with socks.

Note: If you would like to participate in the sock exchange but cannot afford an extra pair of sockies right now- then please contact me (Terra Jacobs) or Luetta Monson.

Christmas additonal meeting

Friday, Dec 9 at 7pm at Verna Ruiz's house. There are signups for cinnamon rolls going around and we will have hot cocoa and hear a spiritual message and some beautiful music from Chase Thompson and then do a sock exchange.

* Can wear your jammies

*YW Laurels are invited.

More of Christmas Preparation Day.

Order forms are starting to roll in for Sat. Nov. 12.

We have decided to make it from 9am- 2pm. We will start classes at 9:30 am. Stay tuned for the classes. (I will be posting those soon).

We will have the crafts in the gym and have that going for the whole time and if you would like to catch a any or all of the classes then you can leave and go to those (not sure which room they will be in yet- maybe R.S. Room or room off of the kitchen).

Also there will be a lunch. Sis. Crook, who is on our R.S. Activities commitee has come up with an idea to make a pizza salad (come on, now you KNOW that got your attention-lol) Anyway, come and join us and bring your favorite Pizza topping.

We also added one more craft to the order form. That is the Washer necklaces. Here is a picture of them. They will be $2.50-$3.50.

(Note- this photo I took off of etsy, but it is pretty similar to what we will be making)

Make sure you sign up so that we can purchase the needed supplies.

Oh! And one last thing- I have been asked if it is okay to just bring gifts or crafts that you need to finish before Christmas. I say YES!!!! We would LOVE to have you come, no matter what you are working on. (Did I say, "LOVE?"- lol)
