Friday night we had our work Christmas party and it was a BLAST.
We got a steak dinner with baked potatoes and cheesecake. We had a white elephant gift exchange and made out like bandits with a ginormous box of brownie mix and a hot sauce variety pack.
Then we had our gingerbread house making contest. But it wasn't your average contest. The winning house is the one that is best able to withstand a natural disaster. The natural disaster changes every year. We were told that last year they dropped them off of a two-story balcony. This year...
They set the chickens loose on them in the courtyard. They pecked at all of them for quite awhile, but eventually we resorted to dropping the chickens on top of each house.
Lacie built ours nice and sturdy - but we still came in second place.
Saturday evening we had our ward christmas party - again with a nice dinner and white elephant gifts. This time we got candles, lotion, and rose pedals... pretty scandalous for a BYU ward. But Andrew was super excited about it.
Then we headed up to Salt Lake with our friends to see the lights at Temple Square. We had fun and ended the night at Hatch Family Chocolates - the best hot chocolate in the world.
Lo and behold Andrew ran into one of the sisters he taught in the MTC. Sister Whaley is doin great in the Temple Square mission.
And this is just a cute picture of our cute baby.
And the party is just starting! Next weekend is going to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you enjoyed your gift from your ward party. Although I hope for Paris' sake you were discreet, I don't want to see a Ragu commercial about her experience in a few years! lol
ReplyDeleteWow, quite a weekend! Does FEMA cover natural disasters involving chickens falling from the sky?
