Ward Christmas Party

I was in charge of the kids' activities. Here is Bryson's cupcake. Way to maximize the use of sprinkles! He also made that candy cane reindeer and...
some very nice Christmas cards, again, fitting as many stickers as possible onto the card. I'm surprised his reindeer didn't end up with 4 noses and 18 eyes...

Our Santa is the nicest man. He's a little skinny for the part of Santa, and he didn't really get into character, but he did do a good job of giving the pink bags to the girls and the blue bags to the boys. He also kept getting his mustache stuck in his mouth which was cracking me up. After a few kids went through the line I think Santa (Bro Osmotherly) was really regretting agreeing to this.

Santa gave the kids lollie bags that had sidewalk chalk inside. While the grown ups were enjoying dinner (it was totally my fault the kids weren't hungry for dinner after eating their delish cupcakes--sorry), the kids were out in the courtyard... shall we say, decorating?

Bishop was a really good sport. The art was still there on Sunday, and the kids were thrilled to see their art again. The next few days it rained, washing it all away.

When Bro Osmotherly got up in church the next day, Zach goes, "That's Santa."

That Santa needs to invest in a new beard!

Amen, Lindsey. I was going to say something like "Gee, how could Zach tell with such a terrific Santa beard!"
