11th Annual Pumpkin Carving

As always this years party had lots of food and lots of pumpkins.  I love this fun party so much!

 

Todd did a Jack Skelinton pumpkin this year - I love it so much!  And we grew it in our garden!!

Valentines Party

Heidi and I love our annual Valentine's party - it's much easier than trying to go out with our men on V-day.  So we decorate, buy heart shape pizza and eat by candle light.  And of course the kids love any reason to get together. After dinner we decorated sugar cookies and cupcakes too. 

New Year's Eve Party

We had a blast doing our hourly activites and rang in the New Year east coast style.  I didn't get pictures of all the hourly activities because I was having too much fun playing with the kids.  But as always the best part of the night was the glow stick dance party!!!

The Hat Party

We had a Relief Society hat party.  It was like a Tea Party for adults with no tea and we wore hats, ate fun treats and had some amazing people talk to us about the hats we wear as women.  Since the only hats I have are running hats Megan, Kami and I decided to make facinators to wear.  Of course the girls had to get in on the fun too.

I told Sophie to make a kissie face - and I got a sweet duck face. 
And...the keys she put on her necklace I found out are the ones to our safe...nice one Soph.

Nu Skin Christmas Party

Last night was our Nu Skin Christmas Party - it is my favorite part about working here. It's a lot more laid back than it was when I started working here 14 years ago. Back then it was a formal sit down dinner - and my roommates and I would stress out about finding a date and buying a new dress and making sure everything was perfect. Now it's more casual and thank goodness I have a permanent date who also enjoys the festivities. The owners always get up on stage and do a prize drawing with lots of great prizes and you usually have the option to "pick a pocket" and hope for some good cash. Last night there were only a few pockets but if you got called up you could sing karaoke and earn from $100 - $1000 depending on if you sang and knew all 4 songs. Talk about hilarious! Thank goodness I didn't have to go up and humiliate myself - I can sing a little on a good day and do rather well in the car when I'm by myself. But put me on a stage in front of all my co-workers and I would freeze with nerves and be way off key! Then after prizes they had an "Ugliest Sweater Contest" - there were some pretty bad sweaters. I'll add some pictures when they are posted.

And of course the best part about working here is how generous they are with our gifts. We got some great products, a paid day off, a portable DVD player and 2 weeks pay. I love this place!!!
