Party week

It seemed the week would never end with parties all over the place. Tuesday night was my work party with just the girls..so that was fun. We always play the dollar game and I never win...and then we do the stealing presents game. So this year I got a fuzzy blanket and m&ms and hersey's kisses. :D Nobody stole it from me...so I got lucky.

Wednesday night was our annual Ellis siblings dinner at Chuck-a-rama. We ended up taking Jaycee because Kaylee was working and she didn't want to be home alone. Randy and chris came. Kim & Tammy & Coby came down, and Lanett & Barry & Dawson, and Spencer & Shelly and girls. We had to go by a viewing for a girl at work whose Dad had died. And then high tailed it over to the dinner. They said closed on the door due to plumbing problems...but Kim and Randy were already inside. We tried knocking on the door but nobody would open it for us. Finally we called Randy and asked him to come open the door for us. LOL. we got in ok...but had to do the same for Spencer and Lanett's family. It was fun...kind of short as Kim had to get back up to Logan that night....but always good to see them all.

Then Friday after work I had another work party---this one with all the people in PT. We went bowling and I was almost beating everyone on my team until the last frame and this guy pulled ahead of me by 4 points. Not happy :D Anyway--that was fun...but lots and lots of parties this week. I don't think I cooked dinner once this week.

Tonight (Monday) we went to Temple Square to see the lights. They were so beautiful and we're glad Shawnee was home from college to go with us!
