Trees a Trimming, Birthday Girl a Grinning…

This week started out so nice—the cute Young Women of our ward have been working on a tree for the “Festival of Trees” all year, and Monday was set-up day.  (People decorate the trees to be auctioned off with all of the proceeds going to benefit Primary Children’s Hospital.)  A couple of us lucky moms were needed to transport these tree-trimming girlies and so we just had to check out all of the festively fantastic sights and sounds!   Such lovely, creative, clever, sweet, gorgeous, gingerbready, piney, touch your heart,  Christmasy things to experience—I highly recommend it…

And if you are me, and it just so happens that I am indeed me (so deep) things are looking up because the Christmas story books for the sweet Relief Society sisters of my ward are all d-o-n-e,  DONE!!  I do love Christmas stories, I love reading sweet Christmas stories, hearing sweet Christmas stories, Christmas is such a lovely time of year.  Andy Williams thinks it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I for one think he’s definitely onto something-- I will joyfully be on that bandwagon/toboggan/flexible flyer…

Thanks for all you do, the story book is cute and I always enjoy having a copy of the stories for myself.
