Totally didn't take a picture, but I did the Wii tonight and did a body test. Apparently since I last did it, 39 days ago, I have lost 2.6 pounds. Woohoo! That is a plus on my book with Thanksgiving and Christmas in that mix.

Tonight, I went to Wendy and Kyle's for dinner of spaghetti. Later, I went to Kaylene's to play games. We ended up playing Clue: The Haunted Mansion. I won! Go me!
I do love seeing the Christmas lights in the house.

So, I woke up not feeling well at all. So, of course I got a new high score on a game I play. Can you say total waste of day?

Janey is playing with the gift the Knights walked away with at the white elephant exchange - a chicken dressed up as Santa and plays the Chicken Dance.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Tonight, we had a family party when the Slivka's came in to town. We had a fabulous dinner provided by Mike and Amy.



We, then did the cousin gift exchange and a white elephant exchange.





"All My Friends Are Dead" is one hilarious book by the way.


Cute Janey and Annie


I do love quotes.

Merry Christmas!

Today was a great day. It started Julie and Randy's this morning at 6:15. I slept over. I may have gone to bed at 3:30, so when the kids came and woke me up at 6:05 and asked if I wanted to sleep in another 10 minutes until Uncle Tom showed up, I took them on it. That is how you know you are an adult on Christmas. Asking to sleep in. :)
My only two pictures from Christmas morning:


I am so excited. I loved the movie and the music. Also, this is the deluxe version, meaning it has the original recordings from the Sherman Brothers on it.


Randy in Maggie's hat that goes with the apron an kitchen she got from Santa.
I should have taken pictures of all the paper and toys about.


Maggie being the shoulder angel from Studio C on BYU.


Randy's amazing homemade wassail. Yummy!


Janey loved looking at Maggie's goodies.


Jingle Bells!

The beautiful table set for 19 for Christmas Eve dinner.

Sarah as Mary and Molly as Baby Jesus.

We had two angels. One with blue wings and one in a turquoise dress.

All the kids singing "We Three Kings".

A favorite quote for tonight: "On the shortest, darkest days of the year people of all faiths celebrate the light." - Castle "Secret Santa"

Today we only had one day of church and it was the Christmas
Program. It was beautifully put together by Megan Mason. She ended with playing "Silent Night" on her viola, a composition she composed herself. My favorite number that the choir sang was called "A King's Carol" about the Wisemen. I loved it!
Wendy also had her choir program today and it was well done.
Tonight, I went to Brian and Elizabeth's for dinner. We had chicken a la king, stuffed mushrooms and ended with warm Tapioca pudding. It was great. We added fruit or chocolate to it. The chocolate chips just melted into the warm pudding. So good!

Tonight was the annual Clayton Christmas Concert. The Knight kids did great and were so cute on stage. James absolutely loved it!


The students gave Kim money for his medical bills this year. What an amazing gift!

Tonight, Kaylene was in a car accident, so a group of us went over to talk and play games and sing Brighton Camp songs. It was a great night!

Such random fruits that have been coming through the office...



Apple, pear and cutie


Tonight, Kaylene, Christine and I went and saw "Saving Mr. Banks". It was fabulous! I loved it and would love to see it again. And I think the poster is so clever.


More classics coming to the big screen. Hooray!!

Today I got new stamps at the post office. They are Harry Potter!!






Tonight, a few friends and I went bowling out at Ritz Classic Bowling


This is the scoreboard from the last game we played I am B as in Blitzen. :). Yet that is single digits till the 4th frame. It doesn't show that on the last game, on the last two frames I also hit no pins.... Not my best games.

I went and saw "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" with Kaylene and Christine today.  It was good.

Tonight, I went to the Dicken's Christmas Festival.  I love the Dicken's Festival!

 USA was performing
 Once again, James is in blue.  Here he is doing his narration.

 Amazing artwork!
 Maggie "enjoying" the shows.
 Thea and Topher in To The Top.

Beautiful flower arrangements from last night.
Tonight, I was at work until 8:00 p.m.

 I came home tonight to enjoy cheesy Christmas movies on ABC Family and Hallmark
Don't worry, AMC played "White Christmas" followed by "The Birds" and then "Rear Window".  Yeah, didn't make any sense to me either.

Tonight was our work party for Cottonwood Residential. We had it out at Noah's.
We had an amazing dinner buffet, and a Flaming Dessert station.  They lit doughnuts on fire to warm them up and then put ice cream on them.

 Our entertainment was the Groove Merchants Band.  They were very entertaining!

Don't worry, people got up and started dancing and some people (okay, just one) fell on the dance floor.
