It's Christmas Time

What a busy time I have had since my last post. Last Wednesday I had my monthly "All About Me Club", at my house and had such a fun time. Just love all the gals in the group. We created pages on "Shoes", "What's in our closet", and "Our Goals for 2009". then on Thursday Cheryl from the group had us all over to her house for a wonderful Christmas dinner. Her home was decorated so beautifully and the dinner was wonderful. We had so much fun talking and sharing for the evening. I have been working 5 days a week at W.S. and had a very important customer on Friday. Senator John McCain came in and he always is so nice. I have waited on him since his boys were little and I helped with the boys clothes when I worked at Merry Simmons Children's store. He is such a nice man and always says how nice it is to see me again. We have been so slammed at W.S. and that makes it so fun and the time goes by so fast. I go early in the morning and work on visual set ups and then work a couple hours on the floor. I love this time of year when I get to see people I haven't seen in a long time. Today I help a guy that I have waited on for about 20 years and he was so cute, said "well I guess I'll see you again, next Christmas". Church services on Sunday were so wonderful, it was the Christmas program and the entire meeting was music. We have some very talented people in our ward and they sang some beautiful solo's. It was so special and there was such a spiritual feeling in the chapel. Last night we had a welcome home party for Marissa at the Dahl's home. Everyone brought food and we had so much good soup and all the trimmings to go with. Marissa had brought home some things from the Ukraine for us to try, crackers, cookies and candy. Then she and Kristan found a Russian store here in town and bought some more goodies for us all to try. Marissa narrated a slide presentation on her adventures in the Ukraine. There were about 50 people there off and on and it was such a fun evening. I was at work this morning at 7am and changed out several displays and will be there tomorrow at 6 am to do the same. Tonight we are having a family dinner over at Jason and Jamie's home and then they are all going to Mesa to see the beautiful Temple lights.. I'm coming home since I have to get up at 4 to be at work by 6. Then I have Christmas Eve off, so I can get ready for my annual grandkids evening. We will be decorating cookies for Santa and watching a Christmas movie. Such fun times. I have been listening to the Christmas CD's that Steve and Karen make each year and of course have my very favorites:
Peace on Earth- Vince Gill, Believe - Josh Grobin, Mary did you know - Kenny Rogers,
Baby, It's cold outside - James Taylor & Natalie Cole, Coming home for Christmas - Jim Brickman & Richie McDonald & Thankful - Josh Grobin. I have my favorites on several CD's and just hit those numbers over and over. Have a wonderful day.
