The Primary Program

Our ward did the primary program last week, and since Garrick is a primary teacher he got a part. The program was amazing! We only have 10 kids in the ward but they were so great. The program was about families being together forever. The singing was so fun, they knew the songs so well (Garrick couldn't sing, he said that he would be too many octaves lower then the kids!)

I'm so excited for the Hoildays! My stuffing was not the best this weekend, I'll be trying again soon, but in the meantime I've been listening to Christmas music. Garrick and I started buying Christmas decorations this week. We now have some ornaments for our tree! I was inspired because we watched Elf, one of the best Christmas movies off all time! We also picked names for the Smith family gift exchange...I got a pretty good one and did not even have to cheat! I just love Christmas!

Also I just figured out how to upload pictures, this one is the night we got engaged, I was really just excited to post something!

Halloween

Garrick and I had a great Halloween! We got to stay inside, watch a movie, drink hot chocolate, and eat candy! We bought reese's but did not get one trick-or-treater! It was a relaxing weekend, which was great because this week has been busy already. I feel like it should be Friday. I think it's just that I 'm so excited for this weekend. I've been practicing for Thanksgiving (I'm in charge this year and it will be both mine and Garrick's family--I can't wait to see them!) and this weekend will be stuffing. I just love stuffing and I can't wait to try making it!

This week I also wrote a story for a ward activity we are having. I had to write a story from my "history" so I wrote about my trip to China. For those of you who don't know, my family won a trip to China in 2007. We got to tour the Olympic sites and the famous Chinese landmarks. The Great wall was amazing! It brought back such fun memories when I looked at the pictures. I need to make a photo album or something, just to make them easier to look at, so that I can feel happy and blessed all the time!
