Splitsville

Me, Amanda, Nicole, Angie, Sara, Andrea, Mekael, Mindy, Cindy, Stacie & Nichol

We went out to celebrate our friend Andrea's birthday last night. We stopped at her favorite place, Farr's frozen yogurt in Clinton. Then we went to Denny's and talked the night away. Our ward was split in two on Sunday and I am going to miss most of these fabulous women so much. The new ward is even meeting in a new church house so we wont even be able to pass them in the hallway... I have loved working along side these sisters and am so glad to have been given the opportunity to know them!

The primary presidency invited all of the kids who had lost a tooth or had a loose tooth to come up and sing along with "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth!"

After dinner, Santa came to pass out treats for the kids and to pick up their letters.

Dan kept telling our tired kids that Santa really wasn't coming, lets just go home...

It was only 8:30 or so but they were very tempted to go home and go to bed, but as soon as the big man showed up they were wide awake and so excited that he came to our church!!!
