Utley Christmas Party 2009

Saturday was super busy for the three of us, these pictures are only of one of three Christmas parties we attended. I didn't have an SD card for my new camera for the Breakfast with Santa at the Rogers party or the Whitehead Cousin gift exchange at my mom's (there were plenty other family members with cameras so I'll get those pics later)

These pictures are all from the Utley Family Christmas Party. Basically all of Brett's Dad's siblings and their extended families. We only see Brett's half brothers & sisters once a year so I made sure I had the proper equipment to document the occasion. Besides I didn't recognize Brett's youngest brother Randy at first so I need this pictures to help me keep track of everyone. Especially now that the younger kids are having kids themselves.

Needless to say Sunday morning came and I had the biggest Christmas hangover ever, and this is only a precurser what December 25th holds for us. Thank goodness for a loving husband who let me go home after sacrament meeting so I could take a nap.

Shannon Hale's The Actor & The Housewife Release

Do you remember me in a yellow dress next to Colin Firth last summer? Thanks to Shannon Hale's newest novel The Actor & The Housewife Colin has made yet another appearance at Kings English bookstore for the book signing event.Shannon Hale's book signing event are just that events! She blogged to her fans to come wearing aprons for a chance to win prize, my friends and I didn't win a book or a Nacho Libre DVD for our aprons, but we did win a big smile from Shannon Hale when we presented her with her very own "Cullenary Expert" Apron.
During the waiting period between the author reading and our turn in the signing line. My friends and I participated in the Karaoke entertainment. We belted out our love for John Travolta and Olivia Newton John with our rendition of "Summer Lov'n"

For all you Nay Sayers this is proof that I love books and authors not just Twilight! Basically if there's a party I'm there.

St. Patrick's Day 2009

Did I ever show you my pictures from St. Patrick's Day? My Mother sure knows how to celebrate green day with yummy Corned Beef, Cabbage, Green Rolls, and Jell-O

My Mom's table decorations are always top notch. She believes in Presentation Presentation Presentation, just don't each the chocolate gold coins in the pot, they are as old as I am!

I love St. Patrick's Day you get to pinch people and not get into trouble.

Family Pictures

All the Beans were in Town and Connie dragged us together for family pictures. Here's a cute shots of my little family, and one of all the grand kids. I have to wait to post the entire family once we get it back from the Photographer. I wasn't' allowed to leave my spot to snap a few candid shots.
