This year our family decided to change it up a little bit. Instead of doing a project for just Christmas time, we decided to work on one to two projects all year long. So for this year we picked two projects that we felt as a family, improved the community/church and brought our family closer together. The first project we picked is filled of lots and lots of manual labor. As most of you know we help out with a horsing program at girls camp. Two years ago we had helped move the old corrals to a new area. But there has been some problems with the location that it was moved to. So long story short our family was asked to review all the locations in the camp and come up with a couple of logical areas to move it to. So in June, August and September we all headed up to camp we hiked and rode horses around camp taking video and pictures of different locations. We then in October submitted all the information and were 
approved to move to a new location. We went back to camp in November and started cutting a new trail which will not only be used for Horses but also for Mt. Biking and Hiking. We are hoping that as soon as the snow melts we will be able to finish the trail and flatten out areas for corrals, trailers, and learning area's. The best thing of all is that we get to go camping while we are serving.

Katelyn has become the lead director in this project, she is our master cupcake maker. We were able to get a couple of names from our Relief Society President of people in our area to take cupcakes to. We at 
this point have been able to deliver one batch so far, but our true goal is to do at least one delivery a month hopefully two that are holiday themed. This really gives us a chance to get to meet people, make new friends, and share a little bit of yummy goodness with them.

We also had a chance to donate can goods to both the Elementary School and the High School this year which helped make large food baskets for those in need in our local area. The girls really enjoyed this.
Hope all of you have a great Christmas and a successful New Year.
Love the Rutledge Family
