Relief Society Birthday Party...

Holly and Thais made our invitations. The cover was

drawn by Holly.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful invite.

The decorations were themed around the seasons of the year.

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Thanks to Wendy Divine and Heidi for making the ornaments for the trees.

snowflakes for Winter

Flowers for spring

patriotic stars for summer

leaves for fall

We had 8 different soups, all representing the seasons, that they are usually made in.

We had Chili, clam and corn chowder, taco soup,

vegetable soup, Gazpacho, squash, zuchinni soup and chicken noodle.

all the soups were labeled so you could sample the ones you wanted.

Cupcakes were our dessert. Chrissy made book marks for everyone.

Chrissy also made these delicious loaves of bread for everyone.

After we ate we were blessed to have 4 speakers, talk about

why they love being in their particular season of life.

Lindsay Peterson was our Spring.

Courtney Chadderdon was summer.

Sherrie Rice represented fall.

and our precious Velda Peterson was our Winter.

They made us laugh and cry and appreciate

the seasons of life that we are all in. There was a feeling of sisterhood

and love for one another.

Thanks to Chrissy and her committee for a job well done!!!

January Relief Society Activity....

It was a cold and dreary night in January with a spectacular moon outside.

Inside Heidi's home there was warmth,

laughter, and sisterhood with hungry tummies for Elaine's tortillas..

We had 16 show up!!! a great turn out for a mid-week activity.


Elaine was a wonderful teacher, explaining everything in detail,

with "I love you guys" intermixed...Truly Elaine has captured the hearts of the sisters in the union 3rd ward.
Elaine also made a yummy meat filling to go inside the tortillas

We enjoyed a Spanish rice with veggies in it.

The finished product was delicious!!!


Thank you so much Elaine for teaching us
how to make tortillas for our families and sharing your sweet spirit.
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!


Thanks Heidi for sharing your kitchen and making us all feel so welcome.
Your homemade salsa and chips were the perfect touch!!
