I love our Elders' wives, and I wanted to bless these women who give so much to our church with a tea where they could just come and relax, visit, and pray. It brings tears to my eyes that they were able to do this. YAY! :)

I had so much fun preparing!

Loved this family evening of dinner to celebrate the end of a great term at LBCC for the kids and gathering around the Advent Wreath and Jesse Tree. We were behind on both. :)
