Young Women's Rocks!

Tonight we had our combined YW/YM activity. We were supposed to go ice skating but decided that we'll just do that some other time because the YM didn't want to go. So we opted to go see the lights at Temple Square(of course I forgot my camera) Oh my gosh, can I just tell you we had an amazing time! Even though it was freezing! I love the girls in our YW and the other leaders too. We all just mesh so well together.

I was so scared that I wouldn't do a good job or wouldn't be able to connect with the girls. Especially because I loved being in Primary, and that's like the easiest calling you can get-in my opinion. I love working with kids, and they just lit up my life and taught me so much.

And while YW is a little more time consuming and difficult, I love it. It has already taught me so much and I just adore the girls we have. They are sooo beautiful and smart! And they are hilarius too! I was talking with another leader and we both said that sometimes we still feel like we are a YW because we connect so well with our girls and no matter what lesson or activity we have, we learn so much and pretty much laugh the whole time.

Plus the girls always tell me how much they love Leah and how stinkin cute she is. You know I love to hear that-I'm shameless, I know.

Well things are still incredibly crazy around here and I have our tree up and almost all the presents wrapped. I'm sooo excited to see Chris and Leah open up all of their gifts! We ended up giving Leah one present early because I brought it in to show my mom, and I walked out to my car to get something, and as I walk in the door I hear Leah freaking out and see my mom holding the toy.

Turns out, Leah had gotten the toy out of the bag that I stupidly left by the door, and took it to my mom to open it for her. I said to Leah when she brought it over to me to open it, that I couldn't open it for her yet, and she started crying even worse! I melted and gave in and opened the cabbage patch doll for her. It was soooo cute I wanted to cry! She was so excited!

She does this thing when she's waiting for something she wants-food or a goodie- where she flaps her hands up and down making cute happy noises and giggles.Chris calls it the humming bird. I love it! I cannot get enough of this child. She carries her CPK with her everywhere now. I love this age, and I love my Leah!!!
