Welcome Night for YW

 Once a year we have Welcome Night in Young Women's to welcome the new girls who are turning 12 and to show love to our leaving seniors. One gets an emblem of belonging and one of achievement. I also introduce the new theme for the year. This year our theme worldwide is Walk with Me. I gifted the girls socks that have Walk with Me embroidered on the top ruffle. The older girls always plan the night - they chose to have everyone dress up in 18th century style dresses and 'take a walk together around the garden' it was so cute. They had a list of questions, the girls would pair up - some leaders too and walk around the room talking then switch partners. Cheesecake and a soda syrup bar. 

Klairr is graduating. We will all miss her sweet spirit. 

 Ella is too! She has been the YW leader for so long and has such a strong testimony of Christ.

 One of our advisors - she is a math teacher and comes every other week to teach the girls a lesson or help them teach a lesson. 

 Walk around the room time.

 Random photo of this goof - who forgot her dress in another car. C goes from co-op to choir to church each week.

 Clairana and Sister Clayton - Sister Clayton is one of my counselors and her only daughter is at Purdue. She has the opposite of our family - 5 boys and 1 girl.

 I had a brief scripture discussion when introducing the theme.

Clairana took this one - this is my other counselor Sister Garner. She is Klairr's mother that is graduating - her baby of six. She laughed at this picture and said she best frame and give it to her husband because she looks so angelic.
