Here is our upstairs Christmas tree, which my daughter assembled and decorated exclusively. Christopher added candy canes, which, as you can see, are no longer there. The candy canes have either been given away to their friends or eaten. The gifts under the tree were sent from Kelly's family in Colorado. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mike, and Aunt Brenda and Uncle Joel! I still need to wrap all of ours.
Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares
