What?!?! December is gone already??? I can't believe it. We have had lots of fun and exciting things going on and here we go:
My friend and I decided to make some freezer dinners for our homes and had quite a menu. We purchased all the supplies and this picture below is all the goods: We made enchiladas(green and red sauce), taco soup, potato chowder, lasagna, and chicken pot pie. YUMMMMY!!! We couldn't believe all the food we made and it only took us 2 1/2 hours(which sounds like a long time but when you are talking about home-made lasagna....nothing is too long). We had enough for both of us and then some left over for a few other friends. This might just turn into a monthly habit for us.

Next on the list is the Mrs. company girl party. We all went to dinner and had such a fun time. We had about 35 women there and IT WAS A BLAST!!!!
Then came CHICAGO!!!!! I was a little worried when I went to the Salt Lake airport and the luggage guys outside were doing donuts on the runway. Everything went fine and I got there safely. The poor Mister had to stay home and finish his finals.
My sister and brother-in-law made fun of me for wanting to ride the "L" train. It was pretty neat. I never grew up in a place where there was public transportation. I actually had never been on any type of a train before so it was doubly cool.
This is at the top of the Sears...I mean Willis Tower. These glass overlooks are suspended and you can walk right out on them and you are 103 stories up with nothing below you except ground and sky...it was scary.
And then there was the pizza. OH MY GOODNESS!!! This deep dish was at least an inch thick and there was a pound of cheese to every slice. The are so good that they ship their pizza across the country(to anyone who wants to pay $40 for a pizza) in a container of dry ice.
Did more tourist-y things like the Planetarium, Field museum, Art Institute of Chicago, shop on the Magnificent Mile, and all that good jazz. I was glad to be back with my Mister just in time for Christmas.
While in Chicago, the brother-in-law gave me a challenge to take pictures of things that look like letters, so they can spell their last name. Here is what I came up with:
All the letters are the same except the "W". Let me know which one you think would be better.
This brings us to the picture of my mother. What more is there to say? We had the mustaches...and the family had the spirit to match.
