How 'bout those Jazz?!!

I have an awesome job, I just passed my 17th year anniversary with this company. I enjoy some fun perks, as I have mentioned in the past. This post is dedicated to the fun times we have going to see the Utah Jazz. I have been able to do this since the glory days of John Stockton and Karl Malone.

We're pretty lucky, and somewhat spoiled.

Christmas in the kitchen

Making Christmas memories with the grandkids! Nothing says baking with grandma like a store bought, pre-assembled gingerbread house and store bought cookie dough!! Laura and I watched Ash and Maci this weekend so Katie and Jeff could spend their anniversary downtown. They made a gingerbread house and then we rolled out cookie dough for gingerbread men. Oh, and we placed preformed reindeer cookies on a sheet and baked them. I've lost my desire to spend a lot of time with flour and cookies (poison to me) so I love the ease of these convenient products!

Our ward party was themed Polar Express- Doesn't Bishop Combs make a perfect ticket taker?!!

Christmas will be on the small side. For Christmas Eve Laura, Karl, Grandma and I are going to see the movie "Lincoln" at the 3 O'clock matinee and then we are going out to dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant. (Think Fa-Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra). We have been doing this for about 8 years, ever since Rob left for his mission and there are just the 3 of us around. Traditions adapt to the circumstances. Christmas day we will have dinner, but we will add Katies family and Greg & Annie. This is an "out" year, with the kids/nephews going to the in-laws. Snow is beginning to fall, we will definately have a white Christmas this year!!
