Congrats Grads!!!

We had two Young Women graduate this last week. So to send them on their way to Relief Society we had a little celebration.

Our Laurel Advisor made these cute invitations to invite all the leaders and YW.

It was a beautiful garden party. We had a fabulous spread of snacks. I brought open-faced cucumber sandwiches. Click here if you would like the recipe. I used white bread instead of the kind they suggested. I also cut mine out with a flower cookie cutter.



While we ate the girls were spotlighted by the YW president and then their mothers. The graduate got to say a few words to the other YW. Then a member of the Relief Society spoke to the girls about the amazing program they will become a part of for the rest of their lives. The bishop said a few words. And we ended it all with a ceremonial, cutting of the apron strings.

I hope the girls felt special. They sure are special to us, and we will miss them dearly!

Those are very special young ladies and a great group of girls. There isn't a more rewarding calling than serving with the young women. Have a great time and enjoy them, they'll bring you a great deal of joyous satisfaction.
