Christmas Party

Our Ward had a fun Ward Christmas party this weekend. We started by visiting Santa in the foyer. Though Dani was terrified of him again this year, she still talks about the gift he gave her.
Then we moved on to the gym to find a table. While waiting to eat there was a small room just to the side of the gym labelled "Santa's workshop" for kids to make graham cracker houses, or structures out of candy and toothpicks. We made a toothpick square and Dani ate it quickly.
Then everyone was invited to get their food and eat at the individually decorated tables. After everyone went to get their food the Primary kids sang, then an singing group, and then a dancing group performed excerpts from the nutcracker. Dani even tried to copy the motions by waving her arms and tapping her feet.

Afterwards a few people from the ward performed a couple special musical numbers. After the performances Dani decided to dance on stage like the "dancers" and "papa bear". It was nice to have such a child friendly party. She loved it and still talks about the dancers and the big bear.
