It's Beginning to Look a lot like....Christmas!


So today was our annual trip to the German Markts in the Salt Lake area.  We added a new place to our routine.  It was the "This is the Place" Christkindlmarkt.  Here you see gray petting a baby CAMEL!  He was taking a little snooze.  They sure are cuter when they are little! Haha!



The petting zoo was fun especially for Gray since he discovered we were across the street from the "real" zoo.  Brecklyn is joining in, too.

The bunny was pretty and soft to touch.
Nothing can wake this camel.  We must have our beauty sleep!

I think they all wanted a ride on the camel.  He attracted lots of attention.
Logan and Grayson having some fun!  It looks like a cute scene. And reminds me of a castle we visited in Germany somewhere and they had these and everyone looked like a prince, princess, king or queen.

Looks like Brecklyn has gained a bit of weight around the middle.  It must be the good German food we had for lunch at Siegfried's.

Earlier in the week we had a office Christmas Party hosted by Marion.  She does a fantastic German dinner yearly to ring in the Christmas Season and invites the B1 Library staff and missionaries to eat and enjoy.  And we did!

A little after dinner sing along of German and English carols.
Trudy leads the singers.  And does a pretty good job of it.  Our Japanese missionary sang a Japanese carol too.  He did really well!



Food, glorious food!!!
Always eating!  That's our motto!  Here are Sylvie and Heidi and myself at the department devotional and luncheon.  The devotional was fantastic and the lunch was really good, that is, if you don't mind gaining a few pounds...  Oh well back to the diet!!!!

It was so fun to be together again, the three of us AMIGAS!

These are the missionaries that joined us on the B1 table.  Close to the food!


It wouldn't be a great day without a little selfie or 2!
Then it was back to the cubes where it is also Christmasy, now!

So that was my week, and how was yours????  I hope it was a good one
And it wouldn't be Christmas without my office tree and a special Fritz "bucks" ornament left over from his balloon cubicle debacle. According to Fritz, the Fritz "buck" has gotten some good mileage around the office and if you are nice he might autograph one for you!
