Pre-Christmas Festivities

Leading up to Christmas there are always fun days in our home.
 Abby's Christmas preschool party happened on December 20th and I went to help with the party.  They ate and did lots of crafts.  The kids had a great time.

 On the 21st I hired some of the young women in our Ward--the Henrie girls to come help me clean the house before Christmas day.  My hands just struggle when I clean and I end up not being able to use them at all.  So they were wonderful to agree to help me.  When they arrived they brought the girls and ice cream game and they were so excited.  We love Brooke, Devan, McKenna and McKall!

 Our Ward Choir did a marvelous job on our Sacrament Christmas program on the 23rd and I wanted to express my thanks to them for all of their dedication and willingness to share their talents throughout the year.   So I had a little Ward Choir Christmas party.  Not everyone was able to come because many had family in town but we had a great time and had yummy treats.


I am very thankful to be the Monica Ward Choir Director.  It's a calling I've basically had since I was 17 and I love it.  I love to bring the spirit into Sacrament meetings, teach members of the Church more about music and to get to bear my testimony through them each week as we practice and when we sing.  I know that we don't ever have enough time but I also know that the spirit it there and that when that happens, things come together and all are blessed-especially me.
