December Happenings

 Wow, has it really been over a month since I last blogged?  

What is wrong with me?

I will just add some cute pictures then before we have Christmas overload right?

Above is the Clegg sibling dinner at Cafe Trang. Yum!  I always look forward to this annual event.  Love the Clegg siblings!

 So I have this photo turned the right direction on my computer, I don't know why it is not working on the blog.  Sorry.  We also did our annual go to Gateway for dinner, ride trax to Temple Square to see the lights, grab hot chocolate on the way back.  I LOVE this!  I always feel like this comes and goes too quickly. We went with our good friends, the Shepherds.  Can't it be Christmas (or 4th of July) forever?

 Ethan had a very special visitor come to his preschool.  He is so lucky!

 Miss Linda is the best!

 Ethan's cute Christmas tree decorating skills.

 My cute little Elf!

 My handsome Ryan at his Polar Express Day at school.  I love going to school and seeing cute Ry in action.  They are building a candy train & wearing PJ's.  Fun!

 I've been a total stress ball this week helping plan & execute the Ward Christmas Breakfast.  

My dear friend Ashlii totally lit the table cloth on fire.  She's cool like that.  Good thing she's tough, and put it out with her hands.

 Ashlii's Mother-in-law is amazing and let us borrow all of her decorations.  It came together so cute!  (Although, that silver tree above its Ethan's tree, and he was so mad I took it from his room).

 Putting up 15 tables and 130 chairs by myself is SO not fun.  But at least I am super tough now...and I also know that next time...I should ask for help.  I'll admit...listing to Michael Jackson in the church, is pretty cool.

 Ashlii did an amazing job with the hot chocolate bar.

 I totally bought those cute green trees this year, they are adorbs.

My friend Diana made THE BEST homemade syrups for the pancakes. I wish I had a picture of them...and recipes.  Oh man they were good.

It was a lot of work, but it turned out so great. And I think people had a good time (hopefully).

Merry Christmas friends!

Here is a good quote I came upon, and thought I'd share:

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. "
