Last week was our Relief Society Birthday Celebration!
The Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was formed 169 years ago in Nauvoo, Illinois, by the prophet Joseph Smith.
This year, we had a pioneer theme, and had pioneer inspired food, activities, and decorations.
{we drank home made rootbeer out of mason jars, while learning about past church Relief Society Presidents}
{we had homemade soups, jams and butter with our bread)
{we decorated with quilts, burlap and wildflowers, pie plates, dutch ovens, jute, etc...think Little House on the Prarie...}
{after learning to make cornhusk dolls and clothespin dolls, learning to crochet, and playing pioneer games, everyone took home some jam}
It turned out to be a really fun night!

It was such a great time! Wish I could have stayed to make a doll! :) Thanks Kathy!
What a cute idea. I am sure you had something to do with it.

Awesome night :) The atmostphere and decorations rocked!
Looks like you were busy for a few weeks before the event! (I'm assuming all that jam was made by you using your "secret" recipe.) :)
