Oh the weather outside is FRIGHTFUL!!!!

It is sooo cold outside! Yesterday a big storm made it into the SLC valley. I sat there at my desk at work and watched it roll in. The snow came down and it didn't seem to let up ALL day! We would watch out the window at the cars going down the road and they would just slide. One car actually slid into a parked car because it was turning into ice. I was so worried about driving home. I knew I had good tires but some people just don't know to drive in the snow. The poor maintenance guys were blowing the snow off the sidewalks all day and I kept thinking about my dad and how he does it everytime it snows.

It has been snowing on and off today but not much. But it has been really cold. I was able to finish all my christmas shopping today. I didn't have much left. AND, I got it all wrapped and it is under my tree now waiting for christmas. I hope that Tyler, Morgan and Max got their christmas gifts. I thought I sent them off in plenty of time.

I hope everyone has been able to stay nice and warm! I have been wanting to take pictures of all the snow, but it has been way to cold! :) I can't stand the cold!

Merry Christmas! I will talk to you guys this week!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

It is officially looking like Christmas outside! This morning I woke up to wind blowing like crazy. I climbed back in my bed for a little more sleep. Woke up at 9 and it was SNOWING!! The weather forecasters said there was a storm coming and they were right. It has been snowing pretty much all day.

We had our Christmas Party at Myriad yesterday. HR makes Breakfast (YUM!) Everyone looks forward to it. It starts at 8 and goes until about 11. Everyone lines up for the bacon! :) They make sure we are nice and full! They feed us with pancakes, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, pastries, doughnuts, fruit, juice.. It is so nice! I love working for Myriad, they really treat their employees good!

Today was the Labrum Christmas party! It was out at Aunt Luanns. We missed a lot of people because of the weather but it was good. We still had a good turnout. The food was good, as usual. Me, Tammy and Uncle Mike made sure to test out Jen's chocolate first! :) After lunch, the special "visitor" came. All the little kids got their chance to sit on his lap and get their bag of treats. Koy was cute when he saw Santa! He sat his lap and he said "ho ho ho merry christmas!" Kayden on the other hand, he wanted his bag of treats but did NOT want to go NEAR Santa! Aunt Luann helped to get him near Santa so we could get a picture. We got him to sit on the stairs so we have a picture with a wall between Kayden and Santa :) that was as good as we could get. In the bag of treats, they had better treats then we had growing up! We had peanuts and and orange! LOL.. they had good candy! Only the Labrum family would give out fruits snacks but what kind are they... JOHN DEERE!!! We left the party early so dad could head home. Me and Tammy headed to Walmart to go shopping. I got my Christmas shopping done except for mom and dad... So, yay for me! :) When we were at Walmart getting christmas gift, Kayden said he needed to get a christmas gift for JJ (Jeremy and Rachel's little boy) he then said "I LOOOVE JJ"

While at the family party, I was telling Tammy that we didnt get all the entertainment growing up like the kids now have at the party (they had the Christmas Classics DVD going on the Big Screen). We had the parties at Uncle Lee's and our entertainment was the rabbits. And we all crammed upstairs for the family "talents". But I think that because of those memories, it makes the Christmas memories memorable. The Labrum parties are always so much fun, and you all have to admit, we always have fun. No matter how often we get together, we can always find something to talk about. It was different not having the whole family there..

The snow started falling when I pulled into my driveway. The storm is supposed to last the next few days. Hopefully everyone stays nice and warm. I took pictures at the family party, I will post them hopefully... soon! :)

SNOW!!!!!!!

I knew there was going to be snow, but not this much!!! I woke up to a LOT of snow. Me and my roommates were just amazed at how much came down in just a short amount of time. It started just this morning and it really stuck to the ground and the weatherman said a lot of snow is going to come. The duplex girls wanted to know how much snow was outside, so we searched our house to find something to measure it with.. the only thing we had was a knife and a 6 inch ruler. So I got my boots on with my capri sweats and trekked out the front porch to measure the snow! The snow started filling into the boots.. stuck the long knife into the snow and ran into the house and measured the snow... 11 inches and that was at about noon!! It still snowed on and off all day, but I'm not going to go back outside.. I almost fell going out there the first time.

I had the flu all last week, it was not fun! I am so glad it finally went away. I lived off of crackers and sprite. I missed work 1 day and I slept that whole day with a fever, I have a rash to prove it! :)

Saturday night, me and my roommate Julianna went to the movies and saw 27 dresses with Katherine Heigl. It is so cute! I would recommend it to any female, sorry, it is a complete chick flick!

Other then that, my week was just as normal.. Work, work and work. My house is looking for couches so if you know of any that is cheap and still in good condition, PLEASE let me know. We have absolutely no furniture but the computer chair I am sitting on at this moment! :) Glad to have the Labrums home from the trip back east.. You guys made it just in time so you're not snowed in! :)

Write again in a few days,
Aunt Nicky
