A whole lot has happened in the past couple of weeks, so I'll post as fast as I can! It's definately the holiday season!
First of all, Thanksgiving. It was a gorgeous day here, and I decided to start off the year with a family-style football game with my church. Figured out I know how to play football even less than I thought, which is really saying something! I'm pretty sure the 8 year old boys were better than me! Ah, well, can't be good at everything! :)

A cute little girl from my church knitted me a hat and scarf - definately worth a picture for her effort!

To kick off the holidays, I invited several people to my house for christmas tree decorating, cookie-making, and homemade pizza. We also celebrated my friend Rachelle's birthday (yes, we have the same name, the same (obscure) job, and our birthdays are 3 days apart. Not to mention a wide variety of very random facts. Sometimes people think I am joking when I talk about her).



Notice the extra puffy pizza dough! It was a little larger than expected, but still very yummy!

My own birthday was very busy, both at work and after. The Jazz came to visit, so you could say I got a whole professional basketball team for my birthday! :) That evening was the hospital's Festival of Trees. It's amazing to see how much time and money people put into their donations. There were incredible gingerbread houses and playhouses up for grabs, and most of the trees sold for over a thousand dollars! A lot of the trees are in honor/memory of kids that were patients at Primary's. Below is a picture of a christmas tree done in memory of one of the oncology kids I worked with. Since I don't generally take pictures of any kids at the hospital, it's feels kind of nice to have a picture of something to remember her by.
