Dec 16, THOR, The Office party, & Utah trip

This last week we had the office Christmas party at Jim's house. We had a nice dinner and a gift exchange. This year Stacy and I did a great gift for none other than thee one and only Tom Isaacson.  We found out that Glenda wanted to see the movie Thor because of Thor's great hair, but Tom wasn't crazy about taking her. So for a Christmas gift, we bought Tom a Thor wig and helmet. Now he can take here and look great!  It was so funny.  Tom was a great sport.  Allen also got a fake snake in his present. It was a fun night.

On Friday, after Megan and Sierra danced, we left for Utah to go to Stacy's grandpa's 93rd birthday party.  It was a nice event down in Draper at Stacy's cousin, Tammy and Kevin's house.  Many of her aunts, uncles, and cousins were there. Afterwards we went to see the lights at Temple Square. Apparently there was some sort of concert or something going on because it was crazy trying to find a place to park. The lights were nice to see, but there was hords of people.  There was so many people it was hard to enjoy the spirit of Christmas.  We were able to stay with Ryan and Michelle and spend a bit of time with most of Stacy's family.  All good stuff.

One more game left in Lindsey's YMCA basketball.  It has been a great season for her and her 5 teammates. Now Hunter has basketball, Lindsey has volleyball, Megan has junior high basketball, and Sierra has skiing and volleyball. Going to be an exciting 3 months as I get geared up for tax season. 

This morning at breakfast we were handing out the morning meds (not a few), commenting on the lovely prednisone and how is stunts Sierra and Lindsey's growth.  Lindsey is very sensitive to her height, or lack there of. Sierra had the quote of the day, "Well if it keeps me alive, I guess I am good with it", as she downs a huge hand full of meds.  Ya know, maybe we all complain about 'things' way too much! 

God bless the family of Dale Smith.  They still haven't found any remains of the plane. Our prayers are still the family.  What a sad, sad thing to happen.

Sierra has biopsy Jan 6, and Lindsey's biopsy is February 8.

Till next time, Merry Christmas
