Getting ready for Christmas

This was at our ward Christmas party last night, it was called "A Night in Bethlehem". It was sooo much fun! We dressed up in our robes and towels and pillow cases. We 'paid our taxes' of canned goods and received some 'gold' (gold pained lima beans) to purchase our food from. We went around to all the little shops and bought fruit and veggies, pita bread, cheese, shredded beef, and 'wine'. There was a bakery of cookies and a gift shop where we could buy frankensence, gold and myhr. The kids could make wooden bead necklaces and we all ate on blankets on the floor. The culteral hall was decorated so well and the primary children put on a Nativity scene and sang many Christmas songs. It was wonderful! We had a great time!
The girls were helping Grandma Beth decorate her Christmas tree. Kari is the only one that wanted to be in the picture.
Kiera is helping grandma sort out her gold bling-bling beads to put on the tree.
Kiera loves the bling-bling beads. We will see if they really end up on the tree, or only on Kiera.

KELLI! Where have I been?? Okay, I am dumb and forgot that your blog does not automatically update on my link anymore . . . so I have not checked it in forever. But, it is a treat to read all the 'new' posts at once! I hope Kade is doing alright! The girls look so cute, as always. The ward party sounds great!
