Tonight was our ward Christmas party at church. It turned out great. Our friends are the activities chairmen, and we got asked to be on the committee for Christmas with them. The crazy part is that we had our first of 2 meetings only 2 weeks ago, and somehow it all got pulled off! I have never planned something like this, for 400 people! What a lot of work had to be done! The theme was Back to Bethlehem. So it was more of a quiet evening, and no Santa. Rich and I were in charge of doing a live nativity. We used his mom's awesome costumes that she has made. The kids involved did pretty well while Rich narrated. I felt like we were at the church all day setting up and stuff, and so now, I am exhausted - but I landed at the computer instead of on the couch or in my bed, go figure. For dinner we had soup and bread. And there was salad, cheese and fruit on the tables as appetizers. The soup was different, but we liked it. Here's the recipe if you wanted to try it.
Bethlehem Christmas Stew
2 lbs chicken
2 onions
3 cloves garlic
1 1/2 tsp. turmeric
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ginger
3 sweet potatoes
1 can diced tomatoes
3 cups chicken broth
chop onions, garlic and sweet potatoes. Throw it all into the crock pot together. Chicken will fall apart after cooking.
Put in crock pot for 6 hours on high.

Sounds like a ton of work, but well worth it! I'll have to try that soup. It sounds interesting.
