We've had lots of snow in Salt Lake already this winter and we've tried to make the most of it.

Barrick Christmas Party

I just needed to put these pictures up as evidence that the old folks still get out and have some fun!  Too much fun in this case, but it was our one night a year to get fancy for the Barrick Holiday party.  It was at the Grand America this year.  We didn't win the amazing raffle, but we had good company and good food and the night was a blast. These are pictures of pictures from the photo booth they had, so a little blurry but still fun.


Christmas 2013

I just realized my last post was November 1.  I've been slacking!  O well...just in time for a Christmas post.
We had another fun holiday.  At 3 and 6 years old, both kids are still believers in the man in red.  We left him some milk and pie and Miles even made him a present.  We made sure to leave both things right near the fireplace so they wouldn't be missed :)
It was the year for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Legos, My Little Pony, Sophia the First and a whole bunch of other fun stuff.  And again...I looked around at all the fun and all the love and was so thankful for family, health (minus the bronchitis that rocked my world for the past 2 weeks), shelter, food in the fridge, a job I really like, etc.
My favorite!
A chocolate a day...
Gingerbread fun
Note the icing all over his face. Tis the season!
