The Emma Awards 2009

My life last week was CRAZY BUSY!! A BIG THANKS to Don for taking a day off work to watch DJ... so that I could nail down the final touches for our biggest event of the year in Young Women's: Young Women in Excellence!
This year... our girls chose the Emmy award/Hollywood theme... but to switch it up to the Emma awards, to emulate Emma Smith for being such an amazing woman and example. Since Young Women in Excellence is an event where we get to showcase all the girl's accomplishments from this year in the Personal Progress goals... the "Emma Awards" seem to fit perfectly. :)
We had a red carpet with each girl's name on a 'Hollywood' Star!
We had tables up front to display all the things that the girls have done this year... TALENTED GIRLS! :)
Their 'awards' to carry back with them to their seats was a Mrs Buttersworth syrup bottle spray painted gold! :)
We even decorated the piano!
The display tables were set up by values and their corresponding colors. Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue.
We had the girls draw self portraits of themselves... that we hung accross the front wall.
We even made an attempt to decorate "the yellow wall" This wall has a reputation for being difficult to decorate for anything... luckily 'gold' was one of our decorating colors this time! teehee This picture is also of our refreshment table... we had two chocolate fountains there, milk chocolate and white chocolate... with several things to dip in the chocolates! YUMMY!
My oldest Laurel, Mariah... accepting her award. Beautiful girls!
My wonderful leaders... couldn't have done it without them and their awesome ideas! THANKS GIRLS! xoxo
Our Future Young Woman! Cute Carly!
