Tommy was so kind enough to allow the girls an opportunity to serve and enjoy wrapping gifts for Christmas. Really it was so impressive that he was able to receive 80+ gifts for the less fortunate kids on the Yavapi reservation. We had a great time helping, and the caroling was also alot of fun. We had a great turnout with most the youth and the people that we were able to go and cheer on with some Christmas spirit really enjoyed us thinking of them. 
So the youth in the Brimhall ward are some of the best youth in the church! We had a really nice program and the youth were so great with being the stars of the evening. They brought the food and Sang songs for our seniors. We had cheesecake, and Honey baked hams and salad with rolls and veggies. Thanks for all those who helped with invites and set up and cleanup. 
We had such a great time getting together with our class presidents. We played games had smores by the fire, planned activites and also had great trainings on what our responsibilities are
