An Attitude of Gratitude: Blessing Basket Activity

Tonight's activity was so fun! Each girl took turns presenting their Blessing Basket and telling about themselves and what they are grateful for. We all enjoyed a moment in the spotlight and learning a little more about everyone.

It is wonderful to see we all share many of the same ides or things we are grateful for: family, The Church, candy... and also to see what makes each of us unique. The hit of the activity was Matea's tiny tortoise! Because the gender won't be known until its a little bigger, it doesn't quite have a name yet. But the girls were delighted to watch it eat its vitamin pellet (green only!) and learn fun reptile facts from Matea.


Sister B had the book "I Love You So..." in her Blessing Basket and read it to all the girls. She used it to tell how GRATEFUL she is for her calling over the Beehives. Boy she sure loves these 12 & 13 year old girls! How much? SO much! How much is "so?" Way, way more than you know...

Then we played 2 rounds of musical chairs and were joined by the Bishop who gave the girls a run for their money, but in the end, Jessie and McKenna were "the fastest buns in the West" as Sister Moore exclaimed!

Here are a few pictures:
