Week of parties

This week has been non stop parties with our Relief Society birthday party then a Chili Cookoff Branch party. Fun food, entertainment and socializing.We combined two branches for about 100+ sisters to celebrate. We sat at tables according to our birthday months-thus mixing us up and giving us a theme to decorate with for our tables. We had Hawaiian Haystacks for our main course! It was yummy!

Tables were decorated by months-this is July!
