On March 17th, 1842 The Relief Society was the first women's organization and it was organized as a part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Tonight was the Woodridge 1st Ward's Relief Society Birthday Dinner to celebrate the occasion. Since it was near St. Patrick's Day, the party had a St. Patrick's Day theme. There was a lot of green everywhere and rainbow colors, too. It was beautiful.
The meal was centered around an Irish theme as well. They served corned beef and cabbage, sheperd's pie, Irish soda bread, salad, and birthday cakes for dessert. There was such a variety of cakes. I didn't try them all, but I did try a small bit of many of them.
They offered babysitting for those women who needed to bring their children. Initially I didn't sign my children up to be watched because Clinton would be home. I found out last night that he would be helping with a YM campout Friday night and Saturday morning. (There's nothing like being surprised.)
Unfortunately, the YM weren't able to get the campground site, so they did camping stuff at the church, came home to sleep, and will reunite tomorrow morning at 9:00am to do other stuff. The kids had a lot of fun at church. They made crafts, had snacks, played with toys, and watched movies. I'm sure they had a lot more fun than if they stayed at home.
