Christmas Stuff

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. I am so not ready. There is no time to shop when you have to work. I haven't been able to do all the fun Christmas stuff that I used to do with the kids when I stayed at home. It's lame. But, we have tried to go to a few Christmas things. We made it up to the Festival of Trees for a bit. Here is Meg with the guy from "Nightmare Before Christmas".

This was about as good of a picture that I could get of all of the kids. They were not in a picture mood...Stinkers.

It started snowing here and hasn't stopped. It has been freezing and I am not liking it at all. Yesterday my mom and dad were out of town and it snowed so I had to go out and do the walks. Brrrr. I went out in my pj's and boots (which are actually my old boots from jr. high) and this awesome Russian hat that my friend Kristin gave to me. Isabel said, "Mom aren't you embarrassed that someone will see you?" Nope, obviously I wasn't.

The other day we went out to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We went with Traci and her kids. All the kids love to pay attention to our conversations. Mattison informed me that we should not be dating. She said it's weird for girls to be dating in their 30's. Ha ha! No kidding Mattison! Then they proceeded to make fun of us by talking about the boys we have dated. It was hilarious. I'm just hoping I'm still not dating by the time Mattison dates because that will be even more strange to compare dating stories. That only gives me 5 years people....

One more single story. I haven't been to a singles function in awhile, been busy with other people. But, I've been in a funk lately, so I decided to head to a singles party up the canyon to this really awesome Lodge. There are "mid-singles" functions that are for people age 31-45. It's generally better when they cap off the age so we don't have to mingle with grandpas...eww. I get there and see this lady who used to be in my ward growing up. I have seen her at a few other functions in the past. When I saw her there I knew that this singles event was going to be lame-o. Let me just say, she has a son my brother's age and I'm wondering how the heck she keeps creeping into these events. Would someone please card her before she gets in again?
