What a crazy and busy week it has been. A lot of fun stuff, but a bit stressful, and definitely exhausting.
Tuesday was the Relief Society Christmas Social, and since I was singing with the choir, there was several hours of rehearsal over several weeks, and by the time the performance arrived, our voices we were pretty spent. But it was a successful evening, and fun to visit with the ladies in my ward.
Wednesday was the Easton Community Open House, which I hosted. I've done this for a couple of years now, to continue the tradition set by one of the residents who passed away, who had done this for many years. Several of the neighbors attended, and it was a pleasant time, and a good way to build friendships and good feelings.
Thursday was the SelectHealth company party at the Utah Olympic Oval. I don't normally attend company parties - as a single person, it's just awkward. But after a lot of razzing from my team, I managed to get to this one. It ended up being nice - a catered dinner, and access to all the activities at the Oval. I tried hockey, and even curling (which is a lot harder than it looks).

Saturday morning was the ward Christmas Festival. This ward sure does things in a big way, and the social was no exception. There was a lot of food to try (s'mores over the fire pit, homemade sweet rolls, a Mexican breakfast of eggs, rice, and beans, and a hot chocolate bar), kid crafts to make, a bluegrass band playing Christmas music, and even a hay ride. The weather was practically perfect for this time of year. Awesome Sister-in-law #1 and the kids came with me, and we all had a fun time. I even managed to snag third place in the crazy scarf contest.
