It took a couple of months before our new ward decided to give us callings, but we couldn't be happier with what we got. I got called back in October as the 10 and 11 year old Activity Day Co Leader. My friend Lindsey, who lives a few houses down from us, is the other leader with me. It is wonderful! We have so much fun with the girls! Almost all of our 11 girls are active and they are all so sweet still. :) Love this age because they still love us and think we are cool! Oh and what did John get? He is the 12 year old Sunday School teacher. This is his dream calling too and the kids LOVE him!
So, for the month of December, we went to an assisted-living facility close by and helped them decorate for the holidays, sung Christmas songs, chatted with the residents, and spread holiday cheer. This was the 2nd year the girls did this and they were so excited when we were going to do it again. I have such great girls, what an example!

Trying to make the tree presentable. One of the residents was very particular on how she thought things should be done and they were definitely contrary to what our director was telling us. It was very fun, though, and it was great to see the girls interacting with them.

Awesome earrings Danielle!

Here we are when we were all done with our 2nd tree. Brooke, me, Zoe, Danielle, Hannah, Sofie, Camden, Hallie, and Sister Krietl. Cheyenne and Lindsey we missed you!

It was a great service and one we will all remember. We also did the 12 days of Christmas for a newly baptized family in the ward. We had each girl take a day and bring a piece of a nativity set over each night with a note describing it's meaning. It went well, even in torrential rain, and hopefully the family loved it. It was a great start to the Christmas season!
