Friday December 4 was our annual company Christmas party and as always, my parents out did themselves. This year it was an italian themed party. We started off with some yummy appetizers, cheeses, crackers, artichoke hearts, truffles and these yummy cocunt creme things, that were seriously SO good! We then had yummy bread dipped in vinegar and oil with fresh parmesean cheese. Then we had a capresse salad, with fresh mozzerella! ( Lindsey if you are reading this, I thought of you because I knew you would love this food) any way, then my dad made his famous carbonara, and broccoli. So good! Then we had lasagna (so good) and a pork roast, that was very good as well, Ty LOVED that. We were so stuffed that we didn't even eat the apples, cheese and salami and grapes until the very end of the night. For dessert my parents got italian ice cream and a cookie, all so delicious! We also drank some italian soda!The sad thing was that Luke and Fernanda were at the hospital hoping to have a baby so they missed the party, we all felt really bad they weren't there! Fernanda is still pregnant, they are at the Dr. today and hope to have some good news.
After dinner we played a fun game that Bethanie and Johnny made for us for the movie Home Alone. Ty and I were SURE we were going to get first place, but we were beated by Rich and his wife 26 to 24! Oh well we still got 2nd place with a $25 gift card to the movies and a really fun basket of Italian crackers, cheeses and a bunch of other stuff! We also got a cute santa decoration, a gift with italian candies and cookies, a new game and a cute clock!
Also my dad has us do a putting competition at work, I had a total of 61 which put me at first place for the girls so I got $20 and then I also had 4 daily highs and I got a $5.50 movie gift card for each daily high!
I feel so lucky and thankful to be able to work for my dad. With the government we don't know what will happen with the business in the next couple of years, but I have worked here for almost ten years! I have learned a lot and grown a lot, and I am thankful for the opportunity I have had. Thanks mom and dad for such a great night! It was FABULOUS!

That does sound fun. Doug's work party was that night as well and also had an Italian food theme.
I really hope that the government issues don't go the way Obama wants them to and don't affect your dad's business.
WAY fun! I wish I had a work party!
I miss the christmas parties!
Mmmm, I love Caprese and Gelato. It sounded like a great time!
P.S. I never have work parties. Maybe I should throw one for me and Scott!
