Our ward Christmas party this year was themed: Christmas in the Islands.
I was lucky enough to be on a committee with a pair of amazing leaders, and a bunch of great team members that all worked together to pull our night together!
I was sort of in charge of the decorations and layout. We were able to borrow a mural that covered an entire all of the cultural hall as well as ridiculously awesome decorations including archways, thatch huts, tiki torches, palm trees, etc. I worked on a couple of small projects, including the pineapple palm tree for the fruit platters and the pineapple centerpieces. They turned out pretty cute.
We had a local Polynesian branch, as well as one of the girls from our own ward perform dances from different islands: Tonga, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti, etc...the entertainment was AMAZING. My kids were enthralled the entire time! and then the Primary kids had coincidentally learned "Silent Night" in Hawaiian thanks to their cute singing time teacher.
A special visitor came cruisin' in on a beach cruiser to suit the theme...This was Scarlet's first visit with Santa..
Such a fun night! {glad I don't have to think about it anymore!}
