When a member of the Bishopric comes to visit just after you've moved into a new place, you know that some kind of assignment is coming. For us it was a request to head the 7th Ward Christmas Dinner. I don't think either of us were too excited but it turned out great.
We decided to try out a new recipe that was delicious as well as festive. Cherry Beef Brisket - after cooking the brisket you add a can of cherry pie filling. Yes cherry pie filling! Absolutely delicious! With rice and salads and rolls and lots of desserts it was yummy!

| For our theme we choose, "Wise Men Still Seek Him". |
 |
| Decorations were easy. We hung stars on the walls and displayed a large nativity scene. Thanks to Matt's skill with wood each of the 25 tables had a beautiful wooden base upon which to display a unique collection of 'Wise Men.' More stars made it all look very 'put together'! |
 |
| A framed copy of our theme completed the decorations. |
 |
| A short musical program ended the evening. I loved that Isabella insisted on coming up to the front when the children came up to sing. She didn't know the song but she looked cute and did a little interpretative dance to "Away In A Manger". |
 |
| And when the 'three kings' came she was enthralled with them. Children add such fun to Christmas! |
Good work, Marilyn and George!
