My parents made a Thanksgiving Feast for our Christmas dinner celebration! YES a FEAST! Not to mention they did it all while watching my two kids! We had everything that would be in a Thanksgiving dinner including 2 pies, sparkling cider and egg nog. It was incredible. And leftovers the next day were perfect. We opened all our presents from each other since sadly we won't be together on Christmas day but it truly felt like Christmas. Jaxon LOVES going to Grandma and Papa's house. He always goes straight to the toy box and doesn't stop playing for one second while we are there.Nordstrom was NOT a let down. It lived up to ALL of my expectations and more this year. I LOVE always having something to count on.
Dinner at Brix with my Salon Girls was a blast. I miss Lydia, Amy, Tara and Amanda sooooo much. I was sad Lauren couldn't go... I miss you desperately!
I went to Amanda's house for a brow wax which if you are in the Seattle area you should totally go to Amanda for all your waxing needs. You can't beat her prices and definitely can't get a better wax! Amanda had done the cutest thing and set up a cookie decorating table for Jaxon. The little Stinker WOULD NOT wake up and when he did was totally delirious and couldn't decorate his cookies. So AMANDA made one for him with a "J" on it to take in the car. I gave him the cookie driving home and through his tears he said "Oh Thank you Mommy, this is the best cookie I've ever had!" and fell asleep again mid-bite. Plus, Amanda gave me the cutest snowflake necklace that I LOVE. I haven't taken it off. I will take a pic soon and post it so you can all see.....
Tara and Ryan put an offer in on their first house while we were there and it got accepted!! So CONGRATS to them and I hope as soon as they move in they get my room ready.....seriously.
Shopping and lunch with Tara and Lindon was just like old times. When I am with them it feels like we are back in the day again with no kids and no responsibilities. I love these girls. I got to see Elisabeth for .5 seconds which clearly was not near enough time. I miss her and love her so much!
The VESTUS Christmas party was a hit! It was seriously a blast but I was missing my girls Danielle, Mindy and Aubrey! Vestus rented out a banquet room in Maggianos (Blake's favorite Restaurant) where we had an incredible dinner and casino night. It was so much fun! Then we all went to the after party upstairs at the Parlor where we played pool and partied the rest of the night til they closed down around 3 am! Man does VESTUS know how to throw a party! They even got us all incredible rooms at the Hyatt where we spent the night and Blake and I didn't wake up til 10:30. We had a blast!
PS. I just want to say how proud I am of Blake, Jeff and Eric. They are finishing out the year again #1 in all of Coldwell Banker Utah. They work so hard and have been so successful this year. Not to mention they couldn't do what they do without Aubrey! They are such a good team and I know Blake feels so blessed to work with such great people. You guys are amazing!
