Ugly Sweater/White Elephant gift

About two weeks ago we all headed over to Sister O'Barr's house for pizza, white elephant gifs, and an ugly sweater contest. It was so much fun!
Miley won the ugly sweater contest.
Thanks everyone!

Caroling!

Today the Young Men and Young Women went caroling! Thanks everyone who helped with the hay ride, refreshments, and whatever else had to be done!! And thank you Monica for the pictures!

Extreme Room Makeover

Hi girls! Ok, as we talked about in YW, our activity this week is "Extreme Room Makeover." We will be making over the YW room into a more cozy place for you to call your own! We will have several stations set up. This is a list of some of the things we will be doing. If you want to request to be in a certain group, write back and let Sister O'Barr (everyone should have her e-mail) know. You might not get your first pick, so if you have a preference, give me your second and third choices as well.


1. Floral arrangement; learn the basics on how to put together a cute flower arrangement (using the 7 value colors, of course!)
2. Treats; learn how to make a quick, yummy treat that you can share with everyone
3. Bulletin Boards; we have three separate boards that require cutting, gluing, picture-arranging, etc.
4. Picture hanging; use a real hammer and nail, and using a level to hang things properly on the wall. Very useful skill!
5. Closet spelunking; discover the depths of the YW closet; uncover hidden treasures from Young Women in the past (like, early 21st century theme cards!)


Also, if any of you have any other ideas (like, you want to cross-stitch the theme for a YW project) let me know. Spread the word and we'll see you all Wednesday!!

Thanks!!

Everyone loves Wednesday nights!

Today we had a combined YM/YW activity. We played soccer and ultimate frisbee.

We all had fun trying to get the ball away from the amazing Brother Soper.

Of course the light shirt time won every game but the darks aka "Team Taylor" (no one really liked this name) tried their best!

Everyone also loved the Island Ways Sorbet and the Fat Boys!

Also loved the cartwheel challenge to see how could go the farthest
