Christmas

For Christmas this year I told my Mom that I wanted her to make me an apron.  I love to cook and have wanted one for a long time but just never got around to getting one.
   
Not only did she sew me a really cute apron but the polk a dot material is from an old dress from my childhood!  I got a little choked up when she told me.  It made a simple apron into something that is now going to be an heirloom for me and my children.  I love it!! 

She also made these table runners which I also love.

Macco Bowl Las Vegas 2011

Jordan drove to Las Vegas to watch the Boise State Broncos play against the Arizona State Sun Devils in the 2011 Macco Bowl.

I had to work and wasn't able to go with Jordan so he met up with my Dad, Clay, my Uncle Doug and cousin Tyler who had come down from Idaho.

Here are a few pictures from the game...

Broncos won 56-24   
Go Orange! Go Big Blue!!  Fight!! Fight!!  BSU!!!

Thanksgiving Jordan and I were invited to have dinner with one of his coworkers family.  We had so much fun.  We sat outside around the campfire talking, ate dinner, spent time with friends and then Jordan and I went home.  I wasn't feeling well and wanted to get some rest before black Friday at work.

Work has been really busy and stressful but they have been really good about keeping us happy.  On black Friday and cyber Monday they brought us breakfast, lunch and dinner.  They also had hourly prizes for being there and we were paid holiday pay.   

I have been working on getting all of my projects that I started completed.  Here is a picture frame that Jordan and I picked up at goodwill a few years ago.

I sanded it, spray painted it white and then antiqued it.  Jordan made the magnetic chalkboard by cutting and painting a magnetic sheet with chalkboard paint.

 This week was my company Christmas party.  We dressed up, they had dancing, food, prizes and gift bags.  We had a lot of fun.  There were so many people there that I didn't see very many people that I work with, but Jordan was able to meet a few of them. 

We didn't stay too long because I had to work in the morning and it was turning into a late night.  I also didn't win any of the big prizes but did win movie tickets, which I was thrilled about since Jordan and I love going to movies.  I work for a great company. 
For family night we bought our Christmas tree.  We decided to buy a nicer tree this year and it is beautiful!  It is small but smells and looks amazing. 


Every year after the holidays I have been buying a few ornaments to put on the tree the following year.  Last year I bought the red beaded sprays and glittered bulbs.  I LOVE how festive it makes the tree look.  I think this year I may have to buy some more.
