Auctions, Christmas Trees, and IWA Meetings!

The week after Thanksgiving was a crazy week!! Oh my! I started babysitting for some family friends every Tuesday and thursday after institute! It is a lot of fun! I love it!
We had an Auction for Sub-for-Santa for Family Home Evening in my ward. I was auctioning off a Personalized Cake (because I love to decorate cakes... I should put some of my designs on here...) and also Christmas Tree decorating. I got a loaf of  bread for 20 dollars! It was very yummy! We made over $2,500! It was amazing! The second Councilor in the bishopric's wife ( Sis. Wagner) bought the Christmas Tree decorating so on Tuesday after babysitting I went to her house and we eat pizza played with her daughter's dog that she was babysitting then I started on the tree... holy cow! There was a lot of stuff that I would have never even dreamed of ever putting on a Christmas tree! She hasn't gotten out the Christmas stuff in 2 years because the last to Christmases they were away. So eventually she just told me to give up and then on Thursday we would get more people to come and we could all do it together! So I did! But then her daughter came and did it on Wednesday!
On Wednesday I had IWA meetings first it was the IC meeting where we (the 1st Councilors) planed the INSTITUTE OPEN HOUSE!! It is going to be amazing! It is Country Western themed (I literally screamed when I read the E-mail that said that!) and we are going to turn the Cultural Hall of the Institute in to a Barn!
Then we had our chapter presidency meeting... where we got a little hyper and started putting a P and the beginning of every word! Then we had to run and change into our skirts and go to the IWA Christmas fireside! It was really good then after we had hot chocolate! Then I got to find out who the new Cumorah president is!! There was only 3 of us who knew at the time! It was very exciting!
 The rest of the week and weekend I did homework...

Love,
Miss Crazy Country Red-Head
