a member of the branch and found that nothing was really organized for it. It was a last minute idea, I think, SO..... I made 105 of my Rice Krispie Trees that I have had on my birthday for about 60 years!!! I took nativity pictures for the children to color and I had a game of musical chairs if we needed it and also Pictionary for the teens. We had kids outside the gate 40 minutes early and no key to get in! We finally got a key and by the time about 30 kids arrived, there were still only a few adults, a few teens and the four Elders. Over the next 2 1/2 hours, more people came but I would say there were about 40 kids, 10 adults, and 10 teenagers. Here are some photos....
