Fun Times in Who-Ville

Recently, I was called to serve in the Relief Society Presidency at Church. I'm excited to get to know Jodi, Christa and Delsa along with all the Sisters in our Ward better. This time of year is always busy due to Christmas Parties and Service Opportunities so no time was wasted putting me right to work. Although- ME & decorating for a Who-Ville Party is pretty much a match made in heaven! LOL
They already had this party planned so I just helped with the finishing touches. It was so much fun! I found the most awesome Who-Ville Outfit! And as I was looking for that- WhoVille-ish decorations kept jumping out at me. By the time I was done with my errands- I had a ton of fun ideas.
Here in Helena 5th Ward- the RS Christmas Party is all about our (the Presidency) gift to the sisters. So we did the whole dinner, the decorating, the Program and the gift. It was fun to be a part of it!
For the Feast--- Our dinner was complete with authentic Roast Beast [served by the Grinch herself- Jodi], Orange Potatoes, Purple Gravy which looked a lot more Who-pudding than gravy, Grinch Rolls, Peppermint Cookies, Cindy-Lou Who Fruit, Colorful Salad, and Christmas Water. So yummy!
For Fun-- We asked the sisters to come in their PJs and best Who-ville hair. Some got into it and it made it so fun! I love when adult women can be silly together. The turnout wasn't as large as they normally get but we had a very, very cold week this week. We were so glad that so many would brave the weather and join us. They are such darling ladies!
The Presidency are the ones in the middle right. The Grinch and her Posse!
For the Program-- Jodi found an article from Elder Jeffery R. Holland that fit perfect with our theme. I tweaked it (are you surprised?) so we could involve everyone. I think it turned out really neat. I'll have to give it's own post so I can share it!
For the Gift-- I tweaked an idea from my Ornament Exchange Ornament to go with our Theme. My cute, little family helped me to put them together. They turned out so darling. I love them! or at least I will after the memory of putting 50 or so of them together fades and all the leftover glitter disappears from my home. LOL
The Whole night was a blast! Luv these ladies! 
Merry Christmas!
