Christmas party.<\/p>\n

Every year, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir throws a big “company party”. I call it my work party, although technically, I don’t work for the choir, in that I don’t get paid. But, employee or not, it’s a great company party. We all gather at the Grand America Hotel.<\/a> dressed up fancy.<\/p>\n

\nHere we are in front of the giant gingerbread house. You can’t see, but I did my hair up all fancy in the back. I should have taken a picture of THAT.<\/p>\n

The company is great. While there are over 1300 people at this party, we only really interact with our little table of 10.\"\"<\/a> We sat with other bell people. You can’t really see Ryan’s name tag, but his name for the evening was “Sven Erickson”. I believe last year he was ‘Dirk’. I guess he just likes to change things up a bit.<\/p>\n

Here’s our main course, which was chicken, steak, asparagus, and a little loaf of stuffing with sweet potatoes on top. Very fancy!<\/p>\n

For dessert, there was a lemon pudding thing and a chocolate thing. Ryan had the lemon and I had the chocolate. Both were yummy, but mine was slightly better.

President Monson didn’t speak to us this year, but he was there, up at the head table. I tried to get a picture, but I was WAY on the side, and it didn’t turn out.<\/p>\n

It’s such a nice evening and I feel so blessed to be able to associate with all the wonderful and talented people in this group.<\/p>\n

We even checked out the FANCY new toy store at the Grand America hotel.\"\"<\/a>
\nHere I am with Maurice the penguin.<\/p>\n

As company parties go, it’s a good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
