I think Casey and I are ready for Christmas. The baking is done, the tree is up, the holiday crafts are done for the year, and hopefully all of our shopping is done. We've already been to quite a few holiday parties and I'm really feeling the holiday spirit this year. I didn't have to cook dinner for four days and the fridge is full of leftovers, which is always nice.
My work Christmas party was Thursday night. They had dinner catered at the Midway condo and had a white elephant gift exchange. We went home full of food and laughter.
Friday night we went to dinner in Provo for dad's birthday. Dad chose Applebees, which I was a little surprised about his choice, but mom said that he has loved it ever since we went there with Cody, Sharlie, John and Cindy a couple years ago. We ordered the same steak and shrimp Parmesan and it did hit the spot.
Saturday Casey and I went to the Provost family Christmas party in Midway. We had dinner and then did a man's and woman's gift exchange. Casey got a Home Depot gift card, that we spent already buying new bathroom fans that Cooper came and installed for us. I got a Bed Bath and Beyond gift card and plan on buying some new bathroom rugs with it.
Sunday we ate dinner with Jay and Becky. Mindy and Steve told us about their cruise they just got home from and Jay and Becky talked about their NFR experiences this year. It was nice to relax.
Today is the day I signed up to bring in lunch to work, part of our December tradition at work. I brought sloppy joes, pasta salad, and some cookies. Its a fun tradition, but when January gets here we starve because we are used to snacking the whole month before.
I'm thankful to have good friends and family, a nice warm place to live, and a good job. The holidays remind me how lucky we are and next year we will have a little nine month old crazy boy running around that will make it even better.
