Greg and I had our last ward activity as Activity Chairs. We decided to do a Christmas Luau. Greg's parent's ward had done a luau this summer and had a group come and do the entertainment so we called them and they came. We did kalua pork and had lots of "fun" decorating. It was tons of work but it was really fun. It was definitely nice to have it done with and now I am going to be in primary starting in January teaching Brielle's class (wish me luck!).
some of the ward members learning a Hawaiian dance.
I guess since I was the only name that the guy new, he called on Greg and I to come up and do a dance for everyone (horray!). Greg and I spent 2 days making these palm trees for the backdrop. They were made from the cardboard carpet tubes, covered in paper lunch sacks for the trunk. Then we stuck an umbrella in the top and covered it with leaves cut from green bulletin board paper. I think they turned out pretty cool!
The performers were GREAT! The lead guy Roy had his son in law on the drums, then a few of his daughters and other girls do the dancing. They were really good, and had some fun costumes.
He also got the bishop and few other men up dancing with the girls. It was really entertaining to watch :)
even the kids enjoyed the entertainment! Instead of setting up tables we had everyone bring a towel or blanket to sit on. It worked well for space and so that everyone had a good view of the dancers.
I couldnt be happier that the party is over and now I can focus on Katie's school party this week and of course CHRISTMAS!!! I can't believe it is a week from today! Good thing we finished up some shopping today, I think we are ready?!?
