If Friends were Flowers, I'd Pick You!

We had a fun Mia Maid mother-daughter individual class activity last night.

We played getting to know you games, had 2 wonderful friendship salads( where everyone helps bring some of the ingredients), rolls , punch, and " friendship fudge"( everyone helps squeeze the ziploc bag). The ideas is that when everyone contributes and is a part of things, you can create something wonderful.

Cate and Summer won the game and each got a prize.

Our ward theme had been on 'unity" so this went in line with that.....unity in our homes, in our class and in our ward . We talked about importnat principles of friendship, being friends with our mom's, and the importance of motherhood. The girls wrote nice notes to their mom's or friends about the 5 things they loved about them and a special memory the had with them.

We also took pictures of everyone , as you can see. We partied to the beach boys and everyone looked like they were having a good time. Brooke and Sherry were the awesome kitchen help. They did a great job. Sister Romans did the game and talk.

A good time was had by all.
