My dad had to work so we didn't see him as much, but he did help us finish an impossibly hard puzzle. We also got to eat out with him. My kids love it when he is around. He is such a fun grandpa. It is always such a let down when they leave. It wasn't too sad because we were headed up north the next day. But before we left I had a lot to finish up. I mailed the Christmas card, and had a fun group of girls over to make some wooden Christmas signs,and finally I made two very large boxes of Christmas candy for Carter's offices.
Whew! Was I glad to finally get out of town. We went up north to attend Carter's office party. His company got us hotel rooms at The Canyons in Park City. It was beautiful! Lots of fresh snow. Carter and I left our kids with Carter's parents on Friday morning and we spent the day shopping and hanging out together in Park City. Later, we went to dinner and the company party at the Cabin Restaurant. It was delicious and so much fun to spend time alone with Cart. Thanks Pam and Ben for making such a fun getaway possible. It was hard to come home after such a fun weekend. The roads going home were a bit dicey, but it was worth it! I can tell it is officially the Christmas season because my head is filling with to do lists. Now what to do for the neighbors, Any suggestions?

Darling signs!! You always are so creative...and I LOVE your tree. I would like mine to look like that, but I have absolutely NO talent for stuff like that!! Sounds like you had a great weekend! Kevin and I stayed up at the Canyons in September and loved it! It's nice to be able to get away for a quick weekend trip!
I'm glad you got to come up during the snowy times. I was thinking you were going to be missing the snow this year!
Neighbors, shmeighbors. I say boycott neighbor gifts. :)
Just kidding, of course. Your card was darling. You are so clever and talented. I am constantly newly impressed by you.
