Dj climbed his way through the tube  Hello Ducky Katie!!!  Dj-- sneaking an ornament I love that we somehow got you associated with ducks because I see and hear them all the time now and every time triggers thoughts of you!   Kayla and Dallas It's been a busy week -- as you know -- since we got to talk to you 3X since my last letter!  On Monday last week I got off work a little early and went and got my hair colored and cut by Sister Blaser. She does a nice job and is helping not look quite so old...cause my hair is really graying up these days! Tuesday we had a presidency meeting at our house trying to get next year all figured out. YW is SO stinking busy!  Almost seems a little too much so.  But that's the structure these days. We put together an online calendar and got it all updated with this years stuff and hopefully we can do all that needs to be done. Cause it's a lot. Seriously! Holly and Erik Wednesday I had planned a Christmas party...

 Another busy week in the books!   Monday night we celebrated Holly...which was a nice surprise! (or did she trick me?! haha!) She said her final got pushed back a couple of days so she and Erik came down and we had ice cream cake and stuffed crust pizza (her request on both!) with E&D and GPA and us. B&L tried to come but they were too late. H&E had to go back home to finish out the week before B&L could get here.  Tuesday was busy at work for me and Dad got to go to BIG SHOTS golf with his co-workers. They had a buffet and games and he had a nice time. I had a LONG meeting about water...or LACK of water...and what should be happening because of the lack.  Oh, you know...build more houses...lots and lots and lots of them. What?!?!?  Yah. I dunno. Seems short sighted but that's what going on.  Wednesday we had a potluck at work and enjoyed yummy food with all the girls. Then for dinner we went to Carl's Jr with B&L and GPA.   W...

  Dad did a live remote at Balance of Nature Another week has flown by (I hope they are flying for you as well!!!)   Dad's been feeling better so we were able to play pickleball on Monday before dinner. YAH!!!! It feels good to run around and play. The Casey's are so fun!  We went to Pizza Limone...the restaurant that we enjoy the food...but it has the one lil red headed grouchy checker.  Ugh. I hate that. But I just go sit down and let dad order and don't worry about her!  There is a new Crumble Cookie place, called Dirty Dough that is next door. (Crumble sued them because they said the owner of Dirty Dough worked for Crumble and stole their recipes...I'm not sure how that law suit is going for anyone!)  Dirty Dough is big cookies like Crumble but they stuff them with filling. SO it's not REALLY the same...whatever! haha.  They are super expensive just like Crumble though!  We had buy one get one so we got a couple cookies and then took a co...

  Pretty good week -- bought a bunch of poinsettias from Star Nursery and arranged to take the police and fire to the nursing homes. We ended up splitting up into four groups (for four different homes) and the people we saw seemed happy to see us and get their pretty flowers.  Tuesday we went to the RINQ with the stake YM/YW.  It was kind of funny but I think us old leaders were more skilled in skating then the kids! haha. I had a blast...reminded me of my childhood when we used to regularly skate on Friday nights.  Thursday evening we went to the Sunshiner's Christmas Party (service club of the chamber of commerce). It was an ugly sweater event and there was a white elephant exchange. It was lots of fun. Yummy dinner. Santa came.  We brought our "sexy" picture of George from Seinfeld and it was a much sought after gift!  haha.  Surprisingly!!!  It is kind of fun to have the coolest gift to share!  People were fighting over it.  Saturday...
