Christmas Concert

Little Brian had his Christmas Concert tonight.... we found out about it at about 4:30 and it started at 5:30.... Little Brian neglected tell anyone about it, but forgot his homework packet at the school. When Brian went to get it the teacher mentioned that he would see him at 5:30... good thing he did! 

It was an outdoor concert and started with the 8th grade and worked backwards... Little B is in 1st grade so we had a while to wait. 

Jacob got cold 

Finally it was time for Little Brian's class to come out and play the Ukuleles!! He was SO proud!!

Here is a partial video of one of their songs: 

EMC Christmas Party

This year our Christmas party was at Pinnacle Peak Patio and we brought our moms with us as our "plus ones". It was such a fun place to have a party and eat dinner. The company provided a caracaturist and we had our group cartoon drawn... it was really fun, but I only think Kenny's cartoon looks like him (not sure why he has a hunch back).

The food was pretty good, but I am not a fan of red meat (I like it well done) so I pretty much ate the potato and salad and was full anyway. Barb was smart and got chicken (which was big enough to feed all 4 of us!) The brownie with ice cream and hot fudge dessert made up for it though!

Jereme and his girlfriend Melodi. Jereme is my childhood friend who just started working at EMC.

I didn't go a great job of taking pictures because I didn't charge my battery AND I was having too much fun talking with everyone and attempting to dance. We did some line dancing which wasn't bad, but then they tried to teach us Cotton Eye Joe... there was kicking and walking at the same time... and well it wasn't good. I kicked poor Kenny so much... but we sure had fun.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

When I got home from my California trip Kenny had a wonderful surprise for me! He got out some of our holiday stuff, rearranged the furniture and put up the tree! I actually wasn't even going to take the time to decorate this year because I have been so busy studying for my test, plus my trip to CA fell right in the middle of this rush and work has been crazy... but I am so glad he did it.

When I walked in from the airport Wednesday night, he had the tree lite up and Christmas music playing. Isn't he amazing?
