Book of Mormon Party

And it came to pass that after 2.5 years of trials, mummuring, and tribulation that our family completed the Book of Mormon. Yeah!!! So it was time for a party. Our family voted and we decided that the reward for all of our early morning reading would be a ski trip. But I also wanted a little more to celebrate this momentous occasion.

My creativity was at a low but here was what I came up with.

We had Mexican food take out because it was Native food.(Of course my husband had to point out that we really don't know where the Nephites lived but...)

We had Lemuel and Lamanade Punch (Lemon and

limeade)

We made Nephite/Lamanite headbands and the kids each decorated their own.

I made the Title of Liberty.

I decorated with pictures from our Gospel art picture kit.

And to make dessert easy on myself we had promised land sundaes where the Nephites(vanilla ice cream) and Lamanites (hot fudge) lived in harmony.(Kind of a lousy idea but I really didn't want to make a plates of gold cake.)

It was a lot of fun!

I told the kids to do a fighting position-the boys went with Ninjas. Were they in the Book of Mormon too?

Ciana, this is awesome. What do you mean, your creativity was at a "low"?? That is over-the-top creativity in my book. What a great way to make the Book of Mormon fun. I will have to do this someday.

What a great idea! We are getting close to the end after about that same amount of time. I think I will borrow your ideas and have our own party. :)

Speedy Gonzales and the Black Stretchy Pants

Tues April 6 started as any other day. We woke up and went to a doctors appointment for the girls. That afternoon when I got home I was starving. I ate way too much and then soon got a headache that I blamed on the chocolate dessert that I ate. After resting for a while the phone rang and it was a neighbor who started off the phone call saying "I was hoping that you wouldn't answer because you would be at the hospital. I laughed at her and said no way I have at least two more weeks left. After the phone call about 6:30 Dave told me our goat had had a baby but had died so we called all the kids out and told them about it and we buried it. Then we had a late dinner and put the kids to bed. About 5 minutes later I had a contraction. I thought weird and Dave told me it was just goat sympathy pains. So as I had a few more sporadic contractions I convinced myself that it was just braxton hicks because there was no way that they were "real." I sat down and watched AI ...
