Oh what a night....

This week we had a Relief Society Enrichment night to help us prepare for those holiday dinner parties that we all wish we had time to put on. I was asked to put together some ideas how to decorate a dinner table for the Fall and for Christmas. My friend Patti was in charge of the menu which included a fruit appetizer, two different side salads, delicious sweet potato bisque, and two desserts. I split the table in half to do one side in a Fall theme and the other side in a Christmas theme. It turned out really pretty and I think everyone had a good time. Some were taking pictures with their cel phones and even commented that I open a store doing decorating and other services like this. This may just be another side job for Patti and I. I'll decorate and she'll prepare a menu. For those of you that were there, I hope we were able to inspire you in some way and give you simple ideas of what you could do for your home. For those that weren't able to attend we missed you greatly!

Trick or Treat

So we made a trip out to Utah the weekend of Halloween and it was so much fun. We had a party at my sister Caralee's house in Saratoga Springs. They had it all decorated to the hilt and it was awesome. Had the traditional sloppy joe's, chips, vegi's and soda. Couldn't have been better except for when her husband came out and freaked the kids out with his costume. Oh, and it freaked me out too!!

The kids had a lot of fun being with their cousins. It's the first time in 6 years that they were able to be together and as Abby said "this is the best Halloween I've ever had in my whole life".

Thanks family for making this happen! Miss you all!
