Lanterns and Lighthouses

Our branch had a fun activity.  Here is my man opening the activity as the branch president. Isn't he a cutie!!!
The theme was Lighthouses.  The decorations were adorable and the food was great. Take a look at the cake. Fun, huh!!

For FHE this week we got together with friends and did a lantern walk.  Here in Germany on November 11 they celebrate St. Martin's Day.  They go on a walk outside carrying these fabulous lanterns.
Here is a not so good picture of our girls' lanterns.  Anne and Alicia made theirs in pre-school and I made Katie's the night before.
This is the best picture of all the kids.  There are 4 kids missing from the picture.
Yeah, a picture of me...not!!!  But standing next to me is my new friend.  We serve together in the primary.  I love her!!!!!
After our walk we had hot chocolate, warm punch and St. Martin's rolls.  All made by Ray and Beate...they must love us or something. They are sweet and sooooo good with butter.  They are traditional for the day.  This is one tradition we are going to continue in Utah.
