Covenants and Competitions

Why, hello!

It's time for our first official post and I'm beyond excited. This month's combined activity involved learning about the covenants we make when we are married in the temple. The girls were joined in the room by a handful of beautiful white dresses to suit every fancy :







All that white almost made the girls blind . . . the solution? Sunglasses, of course.

Candice gave a wonderful lesson and then we watched a wedding video staring our trusty President, Kayla, and our Bishop. They are such cuties!

Then it was time to build a wedding dress using these supplies:




It was intense, ya'll.



The competition was fierce. .  and friendly. :)



I'll be honest-- if I had to make a dress out of toilet paper, a single table cloth, tissue paper, fake flowers and packaging tape, it would look a lot like a lumpy, frumpy garbage bag. These girls, however, totally mastered it. Their designs were absolutely beautiful!

Dress #1:

Look at this train made out of toilet paper! How incredible is that. . . I mean, really.




Dress #2:

And then it was time for our photo shoot {because we all know that you can't wear a wedding dress without having your picture taken}!

 

Lovely, lovely ladies!

Such a fun night! Thanks to everyone who came, and we can't wait to see even MORE of you next time! Don't be shy! Come on down :)

Our next activity is Wednesday, July 9th at 7:00. We're going to be playing dodge ball at the church with the Young Men, so let's show those boys what it means to "throw like a girl".
