This years Relief Society Christmas dinner was truly a beautiful evening. Many of the sisters came early and set up beautiful tables complete with their personal china, silverware, and lovely centerpieces! Others in the ward donated their own Nativities to display for the evening.
As always- the meal was not only delicious- but very elegant. Really, it was almost too beautiful to eat. ...almost;) (Perhaps we will be able to get a recipe to share with you all)
After we finished eating, and visiting we were able to enjoy a wonderful program.
Some of the performances were as follows:
*Brother McMurray, Brother Brooks, Brother Sloan, and Brother Low sang a beautiful medley of Christmas Hymns accapella!
*Dierdre Infanti and (her mom) Sister Cronin sang a fun little Christmas number, that definitely had us feeling cheery.
*One of the Young Woman in the Ward, Abbey Schow, performed a duet with Sister Low.
* Mackenzie Millward never disappoints and pulled out yet another delightful poem, this time- a Letter to Santa!
* Sister Millward had everyone in stitches with her hilarious monologue about the busy rush of Christmas gift giving.
* One of our newest sisters in the ward, Michael Gene Widmer sang a beautiful and very tender song titled Mary's Lullaby.
* Brother Paul Sloan played the piano while singing a touching song from the perspective of Joseph.
We enjoyed listening to ALL of you, and are so grateful for your talents! You truly helped kick off this Christmas Season.
And a special Thank you to our WONDERFUL Relief Society Presidency for working so hard to make the evening a special one for us all!
