I made Avynlea a quilt while she was o her mission using the prettiest Japanese inspired material. I ha it quilted and I finished the binding in time to wrap it for her for Christmas. I love how it turned out and I really hope she loves it as well.
Avynlea's roommates were dog watching a puppy in their apartment and she and Rylee loved cuddling him. He is super cute but no thank you to cleaning up after a puppy.
Our Ward did a Polar Express themed breakfast for our Ward Christmas Party. I was really impressed with the decorations and thought the planning committee did a phenomenal job. When Kefford and I got there he got busy talking to people and doing Bishop stuff and I was standing around feeling awkward because there were not a lot of people there yet. Nikki Lyons came in with some of her kids and came over to say hi and I asked. if she had a table to sit at and she said no so I said oh lets sit together. We found a table and I sat down and she put her stuff down and then she went out to get her husband I think. A little bit later after more people arrived she came back in and picked up her stuff and said they were going to sit with someone else. I was bummed and felt a little rejected and was still sitting alone at the table which I do not like. I get real bad social anxiety and this was honestly my worst nightmare. Finally Kefford came back to sit with me and some older couples in the ward sat out table so we were not by ourselves. I was able to enjoy the party after that but it was not a fun experience.
I really liked this quote that I found on Instagram and took a screenshot of it so I could remember it.
Kefford and I went with Bob and Alison to Idaho Falls for the night so we could go to church on Sunday and support Saras husband Jaime getting the priesthood. Saturday night we were at Kylies for a birthday party she was throwing for Abby. Avynlea and Rylee came for dinner and for the party and were surprised to see Kefford and I there because they did not think we were coming. They were really excited and Avynlea was really happy because she had been struggling and needed a hug and to talk.

New nails for Christmas by Brynn Givens. They are so cute and I love them a lot.
Claire Lyons invited me to go to her Preschool Christmas program and I was happy to accept since I did not have anything else going on at that time. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Harper Young and Eliza Heslop were also in her preschool class and I was able to watch all of them perform their Christmas Songs. It was really cute and I was glad I was able to go.

Our Relief Society did a Favorite things night for our Christmas Party and Erica and I went together. One thing I love to do is wrap presents so I put in my bag a roll of ribbon and some coordinating Christmas paper and Arin lamb got my bag. I got Heidi Bonds favorite thing which was a book, some body butter and candy.
I was on FaceTime with Kenedy when Elaine Josi stopped by to drop off some Christmas treats. I had Kenedy say hello to her and she took a screenshot to share with her siblings and laugh about.
