Christmas Social


December 5, 2008




Wow! What a fabulous evening it turned out to be. Everything looked beautiful...the decorations, the food, the program, but especially the people. I am so pleased that everyone had such a wonderful time.


Here are some pictures taken by Heidi Marshall, Susie Conrad and Stacie Dahlin.

The Program

The little angels really were a "breath of heaven."


Joseph ~ Kyle Ricks






The Three Wise Men???

Thanks to everyone that helped put our Christmas program together. I feel that it was very successful. Thank you to everyone that brought food, took pictures, set up, cleaned up, loaned out decorations and to Bill Crumbliss for building a beautiful manger and to ALL that supported this special ward social!!





During the clean-up, the boys couldn't resist.
So, neither could I.

Elder Camp and one of his several companions whose name I don't remember ~ a duet


And of course... Ted and the Tennessee Three

They were definitely the finale!!! I don't think that there is any more captions needed.







It really was a great night! It was fabulous for everyone to share their talents!
Thank you...just a few months late!
