Monday, November 28 - Leave it to me to wait until late the night before I have book club to finally making a treat to take. I was in a hurry (obviously) and got tired of dipping each pretzel so I decided to just dump a bunch of pretzels into the melted chocolate. They look kind of gross her but trust me, they were way yummy!
Tuesday, November 29 - We read "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens for our November Book Club. Andrea hosted our meeting and made a yummy drink that was frothy on the top. We got a kick out of the mustaches they left. Love these friends of mine!
Wednesday, November 30 - Tonight was Simon's work Christmas party. They spoiled us at Top Golf with as much play time as we could fit into two hours, dinner, and dessert! It was so much fun hanging out with Simon's coworkers and their spouses for the evening. We had an interesting thing happen on our way out to the car. A car started rolling backward right in front of where we were walking. At first, I was a little annoyed that the driver didn't stop to wait for us...until we realized there was no driver! Simon was able to stop it before it smashed into two other cars and he and I stood there and held it until security came! It was a crazy ending to our fun night!!
Thursday, December 1 - We had a fun-filled day! First, Zack had a preschool field trip to the movie theater in Jordan Landing. It was actually super interesting. They took us upstairs and let us see the projectors that the movies play from. They also told us how they schedule the movies and how they start automatically - no operator required! Then, they took us downstairs to the XD theater which was equipped with full leather reclining chairs. There are 18 speakers in that one theater so the sound is unbelievable. We weren't able to watch a movie but they showed us a bunch of trailers of movies coming out and handed out free popcorn.
Tonight, the kids and I picked Simon up from work and headed to Christmas in Color. It is a drive-through light show. It was really cool how they set all the lights to the music. They even had a singing snowman that I got a kick out of!
Friday, December 2 - It's time again to send out Christmas cards. I have been working on putting our pictures together and deciding what pictures to use. I found a great deal through Sam's Club so I am so excited to get these back and start sending them out!
Saturday, December 3 - This is our ward adult-only Christmas party. We were worried about the turnout...it turned out just fine! We had a progressive-style dinner where you ate salad at one table, switched to have the main course at another table, then switched to a final table for dessert. We also played Family Feud-Christmas with the computer and a projector. I think everyone had a good time. Heck, even I had a good time but I can't say that a big part of me is excited and ready to move past this night and start really enjoying Christmas!
Sunday, December 4 - Happy birthday yesterday to Katie and tomorrow to Jenni! I am so lucky to have such great sisters in my life! I hope they both have a wonderful birthday!!
