Pizza and cookie and Crafts, OH MY!

How do you throw a party for a primary class of 5 year olds?
I'll tell you... You call my mom and Bailey and they "get 'er done"!
Food By Sister Mecham... (which only Sister Mecham and Sister Bird ate...)
But I wanted it documented that I did offer something without preservatives and hydroginated oils in it... THIS was FRESH!
Main course by Barrows (a HIT!)


Happy eaters! These little people are a DREAM!






For our class Christmas party we had dinner, decorated sugar cookies and made a Christmas tree ornament (how original)... Then we caroled at Sister Allen's house ~"Rudolph the Red nosed Raindeer".. and left a treat! After all... the very best part of Christmas time is the presents you give away!














Then a visitor came... He reminded the CTR 5 class that the star on the top of the tree is to remind them about the "first star" that shown over Bethlahem announcing the Savior's birth.



And then he asked them what they wanted for Christmas.


Bubba here mad it clear, from the start that, "I am shy". .. so it took a minute to warm up to old Clause... but he wants a dinosaur.

And this amazing child... he will not be speaking to St. Nick... Not today... I don't think EVER! But he does have a request for Max to pass along... He'll take some game cube games... and a wii. (but Santa told him those are hard to make, just in case.)

Mr. Max... he had a list, a mile long... I don't remember all of it. However, he IS going to have Christmas... and he even put in a good word for Keller. Mr. Max...
He is more like 10 than he is 5!
All lovely princess girls want a barbie! And Kate is no exception. She would like to talk to Santa, but she will not be sitting on his lap. Santa made a deal with her... He asked her to vacuum 3 times for her mother prior to Christmas eve... One small prob, "I'm not allowed to vacuum yet."! I LOVE LITTLE PEOPLE! So Kate is going to pick 3 things that she can do for her mom before Christmas all on her own. And I think she will keep her end of the bargain! Because that is Kate for you.


Ellie bug wants a doll. She is prepping to be the re-make of her own lovely mother (5 kids in tow). "Ellie, do you want to just stand by Santa to talk?" ~ "No, I'll sit on his lap."
Ellie has a plan. She is going to sleep under her Christmas tree and see Santa on Christmas Eve.
A whole year of Sundays with these darling little people makes for a beautiful year to remember! They say the funniest things... share the best stories (some of which are confidential under the "I heard it during primary sharing time" claus) and say the most sincere prayers ever offered!
Merry Christmas CTR 5 class. You shine!
