A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY

OK I don't know what's happening but this blogging thing is messed up. My pictures are words and I can't move them so here goes......
This of course is our Cookie with the Bishop. Santa was too busy this year so Bishop "No Bawlin" (known to our family and getting more known throughout the ward) stepped in to hand out goodies.
Sister Christensen's primary class plus Kaitlin entertained us with some music using chimes. Neat.
Here is Jason trying to sneak in and pretend that he is one of the kids. I don't think he fooled the Bishop, do you?
And here is Lyle Olsen. He is back home from school, gonna work for awhile then leave on his mission.
Sarah and Chelsea thinking they are going to get a treat too. Hmm. I hope I don't ever grow up either.
Holly, Todd and Katie Patterson enjoying the evening.
All the primary children were invited on stage to sing some Christmas Songs.
Cookie and Brianna really got into the spirit. Cookie was dancin' away.
