Monday, December 10 - Mountain America had an event where employees and their families could go to the new corporate office and check it out. They had fun activities to try out on each floor, had a Santa letter-writing station (complete with elves), and Santa even showed up for it! We had a fun, albeit exhausting, time in this gorgeous new building!
Tuesday, December 11 - It's official! Kenny has legally adopted Kam as his son! His name is officially Kameron Michael Howard! So happy for my brother and his sweet little family!
Wednesday, December 12 - I know this is kind of a silly picture day but I have been shopping...a lot! It's funny how between Christmases, you forget how stressful it can be to get ready for it. I usually like to be done before now but here I am with a lot more to do! P.S. The inflatable antler toss game is for a white elephant party gift.
Thursday, December 13 - I needed another small gift to give my parents with their Yardzee game and I found these darling customized mats on Etsy. Luckily, the Etsy shop was just in Lehi so I was able to go pick this up from the shop owner and saved on the shipping fee. Win-win!
Friday, December 14 - We have been planning our daddy/daughter shopping date for a couple of weeks now. We decided to meet at Walmart then hop in dad's car and ride together from there. We walked into Walmart and I mentioned that I would like to quick check my blood pressure because it has been a little high lately. For some reason, I think this gave Jenni a huge dose of anxiety because right after I took my blood pressure, she grabbed my arm and I could see by the look in her face that she was going to have a seizure. I helped lower her to the ground before it began then she and I had a nice little lay-down session right there on Walmart's floor! Eventually, we had them call 9-1-1 because honestly, it's scary! A few things. First, I do not have PTSD from this experience like I did with the choking session she and I had together. My emergency-mode kicked right in and I knew just what to do! And I didn't have nightmares tonight so... Second, Walmart was amazing! Like seriously, so great! I have so many complaints about the Mart but honestly, having an emergency situation there was just an eye-opener of how much they really do care about our safety and well-being. I actually had a manager sit on the floor with me until the paramedics arrived. She was just so great! Third, first responders! Just...wow! Luckily, Jenni recovered pretty quickly and we were able to take her home and have BJ take care of her for the rest of the day. It was a bummer missing out on our fun day with dad but we're both just glad she was okay and that we were there with and for her during this event.
Saturday, December 15 - The event of the year; the Olson's Christmas party! Funny enough, Simon and Kyle showed up as "Cousin Eddie" twinners! I was Katherine from Christmas Vacation. It was so much fun! The Olson's always do such a great job! I'm just sad it's over...until next year!
Sunday, December 16 - On Friday, the church came out with a huge announcement that rather than waiting for youth to turn 12 to join young men or young women's, they will now enter the program in January of the year they turn 12. In addition to that, young men will get the priesthood in January rather than at their birthday. Because of these very significant changes, our presidency has decided to move New Beginnings from mid-February to January 2. So there is a new rush on getting ready for that! I offered to help make sparkly red Dorothy slippers as a handout. This is one of my attempts at cutting the template on my Cricut. I love my Cricut!!
