This week we had our Christmas Enrichment Night. We had a nice dinner, a small program with Christmas stories from Henry B. Eyring and James E. Faust, and yummy desert. Because Ruth is the Relief Society president, I get to help with the activities, and I really enjoy helping. We set up lots of beautiful decorations on Monday afternoon, and then Tuesday Ruth and I spent all day making rosemary bread (like the kind they serve at Macaroni Grill). Actually, Ruth did most of the baking. I helped a little. We make 6 batches, and the bread was so tasty!
We had a really good turn out at Enrichment (about 60 women) and the fun part was the gift swap. I really liked this idea. We each got a quart-sized jar and filled it with our favorite things and then we got someone else's in return. I filled mine with a small cross-stitch kit, some peanut M&Ms, and 5 of my favorite recipes. The jar I got had packets of tasty hot chocolate.
Our new ward has been very friendly, and I am meeting some very nice ladies. I have come to really appreciate how lucky we were to go to a married student ward at BYU-Idaho. That ward was just perfect for our situation in life, and we really miss everyone there, but Colorado is very nice. For example, we got 12 inches of snow on Sunday, and all of it was melted by Monday afternoon. How convenient! There are lots of other nice things about Colorado, too. I just really like that the snow doesn't stay forever.

What a cool idea for a gift exchange! I'll have to remember that one!
Roxborough puts on a pretty good party. And just count on helping out with the Enrichments. But there are perks, you get to take home any left over treats!
