Unexpected Snow

An unexpected snowstorm makes P-day more fun.

This past week was pretty fun. Last week it snowed pretty hard on p-day. For some reason there is this giant hill out in the middle of a park, so we headed over there to check it out. It was pretty hard to climb up it. We actually ended up going back there for a branch activity on Saturday and did some sledding. 

We also had a fun family home evening at the branch president's family's house. It was their 2-year old's birthday, so we celebrated for her. They also got a new husky puppy, so that was pretty sweet. They decided to name it Monson.

Also for our activity night on Friday, we did a little minute-to-win-it activity. We had a pretty decent turnout and people seemed to like it alright. We did some classics like throwing ping pong balls into cups or stacking apples and stuff like that. We're trying to do fun activities, so if y'all have any ideas for fun things like that we could do we would appreciate it.

Minute-to-win-it at the branch activity.

I attached a bunch of pictures, hope you enjoy them! Oh I also found a Russian nesting doll with Donald Trump lol. his wife and kids were on the inside. Definitely wasn't about to pay $32 for it though.

That package I sent you definitely went through it, glad you finally got it. Sorry that the earrings were so lame. I ordered the ties and the earrings from a member that lives in another city, so I didn't really get to look at the earrings before I bought them. The ties are pretty sweet though. I figured Evan was the only one who would be able to pull off the super skinny one, so I gave that one to him. 

Super surprised that the ball Christmas ornament made it. I figured I'd put it in and y'all would appreciate the thought. I actually did wrap it up pretty well, but it looks like all the wrapping fell apart anyway. They don't really let you pack your own packages at the post offices here, so it wasn't quite done like I would have liked it. I definitely didn't make that one. I bought that and the doll at a store. The ball says Merry Christmas and the doll is a classic Ukrainian doll. The two painted ones I made at a Christmas activity we did with the branch.
