Ward party - JESUS is the GREATEST GIFT

Betsy was so excited she had the opportunity to be of service by decorating for the ward party, however it came at a very busy time.

Mark volunteered me while I was away in Atlanta with Robert.  Unfortunately he forgot I was away that weekend, then I was busy with the Festival of Nativities the next weekend, and then the next DAY after the party was the DAY Tate, Jessica and Marissa came home, so literally I was squeezing it into an already hectic schedule.

12/5 & 12/6 - Atlanta
12/10 & 12/11 - Festival of Nativities
12/18 - Ward Party
12/ 19 - Tate, Jessica and Marissa arrive home!!!

So much to do, so much planning with so little time.  The first thing was to determine the theme and the budget.  Finding out that there was little to no budget really put a damper on the decoration plans.

I ended up going with "JESUS is the GREATEST GIFT" and did Red, Green and white as the colors.  I asked Becca Robison if she could help me.  We met up at the church around 2:00 to decorate.  The men came around 4:00 to set up tables.  We worked and worked - tables, table clothes, chairs, center pieces, balloons, wall decorations, food table decorations, etc.

I also brought all the kids costumes for the Primary's Nativity performance.  So cute!!!!
