UGLY SWEATERS ARE THE BEST

Our annual Ugly Christmas Sweater contest is the greatest! 

This is a tradition we can never ditch.

Trey taking charge.  And after a great lesson from Leo, on to the sweater competition.  All entrants were judged on Poise and Presentation.

Where in the world did the bishop get THAT sweater?

Mckay (sorry if I got that wrong) took 1st place. Oh, the bend and snap!

Ashley is tooooo cute.

Bryan, cool as always.

Watch out for this guy, he looks mean!  But how tough can you get with a reindeer on your sweater?

Bro. Bolwinkle just can't seem to stay out of his mom's closet, but aren't we glad?!!!

Alexis working the catwalk.

Mr. Cool with a capitol "C".  Go Clint.

Mike has had this sweater since he was just a little guy, still looking hot!

And the winners are....well, everyone who came to FHE.

Colby & Parker?

The bishopric ready for action.

Ally and Charmaine really did have a good time.



FAMILY HOME EVENING AT TEMPLE SQUARE

We had a great FHE at Temple Square.  The weather was kind to us, and as always, the lights on the grounds were amazing!  Later we walked to Bro. Bell's office for donuts and hot chocolate.  A few tricks added some fun to the evening!

Andrea, Sadie, and Lela ready to have some fun.

Patrick and Mike ...Oh yeah!

"Ok, who's up for some patty cake?"

The temple is so beautiful at night, especially at Christmas.

Clint looking fine!

Trey always does a great job keeping it all together every FHE.
Thanks, Trey!

HARVEST PARTY

At last, after internet issues, here's the pics from our Harvest Party.  Ally planned and worked so hard on this  event.  It was great.

 The pie eating contest was AWESOME!

 The dinner was excellent and Kent and Kami worked hard all night long, but managed to have a little fun.

 What party would be complete without a little Rock Band?

Just Dance was a hit! You go! 

 Karaoke...WOW!  Never knew there was so much talent out there!

Everyone loves a little line dancing. Thanks Anna!

Last but not least, some videos to enjoy!  It was a fantantic party!!!

WHAT DO MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN AND WAFFLES HAVE IN COMMON?

ANOTHER FUN FHE!!!

Makenzie and Lela make the greatest waffles!  And they clean up just as great!
Thanks for a sweet treat!

Danny and Brian taking advantage of the goodness.

Riley looking good!

Justin showing Patrick, Kaitlyn, Riley, and Ashly the finer points of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...which, by the way, seem very confusing.  As it turns out, Clint is the Master!

Awww...how sweet.

Bro. Bell, Jeff, and Brian trying to keep in the game.

Oh Ally, don't try and hide. You can cover up but you can't hide from the camera.

Heeeeeerrrres Curtis!

Crystal gives  great advice. And looks so cute doing it.

So glad to have Brittany in the ward.  She and Barbara paying close attention to Crystal's lesson.

See how much fun that game was?  Such big good looking smiles.

SERVICE...GOOD...DONUTS...GOOD...SERVICE AND DONUTS TOGETHER...GREAT!!!



We had a great service project Saturday organized by Joe.  He started the day out right with donuts and milk.

As you can see, most people like eating donuts.
Cute, Makenzie!

Ryan likes donuts...what's up with the guy on the right?  We know he likes donuts, he just doesn't want anyone to know.

Adam is always there to make sure the Bishop does his job right.  Keep it up, Adam!
Washing the walls was a big part of the project.  Megan did a great job and we learned she loves to dance!

Leo and Mike get the heavy stuff.  I bet Joe's on the other end.

Mike, Barbara, Zach, and Ryan did most of the outside work.  They are expert trimmers.

Zach and Bro. Ishino relaxing when the job's all done.  We had a prayer with the sister who needed our help.  She was very grateful and shed a few tears.  Glad to help.

Wow!  Look at that grace, style, and balance!  Now we know who to call when we need the job done!

Great job, Joe, getting the whole thing off the ground and going.
