Which is partly why this post was started WEEKS ago and here we are, trying to cram posts in before we leave tomorrow.
The first weekend of the month was PARTY CENTRAL! We attended 3 different parties in less than 15 hours.
1st- The INCREDIBLE ward party! The lady in charge went alllllllll out! It was "A Night in Bethlehem" and it all began with scrolled invites, instructions to come and wear a Biblical costume and bring a blanket to sit on while we dine in the market place and rest from our long journey. My mom was up visiting (to Christmas shop and be our babysitter for later that night) and it was fun having her join us. The entire church was decked out like Bethlehem and they had enough costumes for everyone who didn't have one. There was a life sized camel the kids could sit on, every square inch was decorated and it was pretty much AMAZING! There were even completely decked out Roman soldiers that welcomed us.
Eating in the costumes was a bit tricky-- I'm glad I don't have to keep a piece of material on my head all the time!
After that party we headed to another one. Luke's work party. My mom took the girls home and we went to Sunstone. The party was really nice. They told fun stories from the last year, talked about their trade show trips.... FYI if you added all the miles the company has traveled to trade shows it would circle the Earth at least 13 times! That's a lot of miles!
That night they also handed out the Christmas gifts. Here we are with his bosses, (Aaron and Hilary Aastle) We are so grateful to be involved with such kind and FUN people!
