Fireman Weston...and More Frost

Weston wanted to stay overnight with us and we had a lot of fun.  Last night he and I played with the mini Micro Machines (some of which were his dad's when he was little), Legos, and the piggy game (he won) in the morning.  He watched at the back door as I took more "frost" pictures, as this morning's frost was even more incredible.

We got Weston back to his house in time for him to meet the Weber County firemen, who came to  talk to Carrie's preschool.  They were studying about the letter "F."

Winter's Frost

The frost this morning was so beautiful!  It looked like my backyard was dipped in sugar.

The Christmas Newsletter

It's always a relief to finish writing the Christmas family newsletter and get them in the mail. I love to receive friends and family newsletters and learn what's been going on with others in the past year.

Online Shopping

It's so fun to come home and find that the UPS man has paid a visit. I did a lot of online shopping this year, taking advantage of great sales and free shipping.

Christmas Street

Christmas Street is located on 1500 East and 1735 South in a Sugarhouse cul-de-sac.  It's a 60-year-old tradition that went "green" this year, using LED lights.  It's a challenge to take photos at night without a tri-pod.

Birthday Visitors

Jared brought Lacie and Weston over and brought me a birthday cake!  The first one I've had in YEARS.

The flowers are from Wendy, delivered to my work today. Matt and Amber called and sang the Happy Birthday Song.  Dave, Shaury and kids also called and sang to me:)

Playing a Reindeer Trick & The Ice Sculpture

Here's the culprits (excluding Krystal in the middle)

Jayna, Angie (Krystal) Rylie and Landi

Angie and I took the girls and Krystal to Jamba Juice while Kurt (Angie's husband) put the ugly, broken down reineer back on Krystal's front porch.  This same group did this last year (to Krystal) after the reindeer was donated to the YW/YM during a Christmas scavenger hunt.

There's a fun ice sculpture in a farmer's field on the corner of the frontage road and Glover Lane in Farmington.  This can be seen from the freeway, and there are lights shining on it at night. Cathy and I walked down the lane to get close.
