A couple of weekends ago was one to remember! It all started with Steve's annual work Christmas party at Snowbird! His company provides a nice dinner, with entertainment, and they get everyone a room for the night! Its a nice getaway we look forward to every year!
In years past, they had comedians for the entertainment, but this year they decided to do karaoke! And to my surprise, Steve signed up! It did help they offered a $100 entry prize and $600 for 1st place, $400 for 2nd, and $200 for 3rd place! As we were trying to decide what song he was going to perform, we thought it should be a funny one, since that's how karaoke should be! When we brought it up to our family at Thanksgiving, they suggested he should sing "working 9 to 5" by Dolly Parton! So....my Steve was Miss Dolly Parton Friday night! You could imagine the costume we put together! He wore a blonde wig, turquoise high heels which his feet hung over the back of, the ulgiest dress you've ever seen (it was pretty tricky finding one that fits a 6'3" guy), a nice turquoise belt to accessorize the outfit, and of course other "things" that made the whole thing come together!
He didn't end up placing in the top 3, but everyone, needless to say, had a great time laughing at Dolly's act! I wish I could've taken better pictures of the actual performance! It was alot of fun and definitely made a memory! The next day, Steve and had a nice breakfast and went Christmas shopping! It was so nice to spend time together, since life has been pretty crazy lately! That night we picked up Jack and my Mom and went Christmas tree hunting! I love a real tree - the smell of fresh evergreen is the best!
This is Jackson waiting for Daddy to bring the tree inside! He thought bringing a tree inside the house was pretty cool! Since he's always trying to bring in rocks, sticks, and other things inside the house to keep!
Jackson took this picture of the tree! He was pretty proud of himself! Quite the little photographer - don't you think!
After Steve put the lights on the tree, we put the ornaments on! This year Jack really helped! He put his own ornaments on all my himself, even if they are all on the bottom branches and barely hanging on, he is Mr. Independent and did a great job!
Then on Sunday, my nephew, Ryder was blessed! Tom gave a beautiful blessing and it was fun to get the family together! What a fun weekend to start off the Christmas season!
Uncle Tom and Jack playing X Box after the blessing! His first time playing video games! Yikes!
