Christmas Fun

Today B (he's featured in every post) said to me: "Mrs. Palmer you look sick."

Also as I was preparing some Grinch Punch for my kids I told them that if they weren't in their seat working when it was their turn to get the drink I would skip them.

B came up to multiple times to chit chat (he has lots of stories). I kept reminding him that if it was his turn to get the drink and he was up here talking or walking around then he wouldn't get it.

After perhaps my 4th time B replied, "I know! I heard you the first time."

My bad.. you weren't acting like it!

Onto other news:

Woody and I had a fun-filled weekend last weekend.  His sister Kortni came up with her family and we got to have some pre-Christmas fun.

We took some Family Pics:

If you know me and Woody you know a smile like this from him is RARE!

I know you already saw these on FB I would edit some others from you but I just edited photos for a friend and I'm photoshopped out for the night

We went up to City Creek.  It had an AMAZING Disney Store. I think that I enjoyed it just asmuch   more than the kids. :) It also has The Steak Company which is where my love for Chicken Teriyaki sandwiches came from. YUM

Then we went to see the lights at Temple Square.  I wore a little kid's beanie to help keep me warm. Yes, I have a very small head. 

Woody and I were able to meet our new favorite author.  He wrote these: 

Incase you can't read the very LARGE text.. Brandon Sanderson.  Woody saw him first and said, "hey that's Brandon Sanderson!"

 Then while I am searching the crowd Woody watches him leave... we walk for like two seconds and Woody is weighed down with a great sense of remorse "Oh man, I should have shaken his hand." 

So we leave his family and go on the search!! After walking a little bit   After a long and freezing search we locate him! Woody and I walk past him like twice  a few hundred times with Woody saying "No, I shouldn't bother him... He's with his family... He's with his kid"

So Brave Amy walks up to him and says very eloquently... "Hey, are you Brandon Sanderson".

We tell him that we love his books, shake his hands and I am now OFFICIALLY....WOODY'S HERO.

After that exciting moment we went to the Jazz Game. 

It was a last minute decision. We were actually on our way home when Woody said, "Hey the Jazz game is starting".  So Woody and I, Cody, Justin and his son Max, head over.

We got the very last possible row in the upperbowl.

Luckily though... Cody scouted an empty row for us and our seats drastically improved in the second half

On Sunday we had a gingerbread making contest.  Woody and I won... HOLLLA

 Sunday night we went to his Grandpa and Grandma Woodruff's house.  Grandpa gave all of his grandchildren a gun.  It was quite the event, a few tears were shed and happy faces were seen as the guys were being passed out.

Ok... back to the thing I talk about most.. my kids...

This is them doing a Mario dance that I found on Pinterest.  It's adorable.  I love watching them dance.  Basically I just stand and giggle as I watch them.

We made some Santas that were stuck in a chimney. The craft was pretty cute.. They had a chimney and then some legs sticking out :) But here are some funny stories 

"Santa is stuck because Santa ate so much cookies and hot chocolate. So him stuck in the chimney.  Santa likes cookies and hot chocolate.  Rudolph came  to Santa. Rudolph pulled Santa's legs and got him out.

"He was delivering presents like usually.  And he was going down the chimney.  How did he get out you say? He broke the chimney and got off the top of the house. But he hit his head on the top.

"The chimney was stuffed with snow.  The snow fell out.  He popped out.  He got a bump on his head. He wanted to go to bed."

"Santa is stuck. No one can get him out. It was not funny. That was sad. He was too big so he could not get out. Don't laugh its not really really really not funny so don't laugh. It's santa won't you do laughing if you were stuck in that."

"Santa said stop to the Reindeer and when they stopped Santa whent and flew! And got stuck. the workers had to go on the roof to get santa out of the chimney.
