Christmas Eve Table 2009

So last night Tigan and I went to Keys on Main in downtown SLC with our friends Clay and Jen who were down from Logan for the day. When I was looking for something to do I earlier in the day I saw that there was this guitarist with a weird name playing at keys on main so I thought it would be fun to go see. Turns out the guitarists name was Orianthi and she's kind of a big deal, she was hand picked by the late Michael Jackson to be the guitarist for his new tour, is from Adelaide Australia, and has a song on the radio right now entitled According To You. I captured some video from the concert and it was pretty freaking amazing what this 5 ft nothin girl could do with a PRS (that's a brand of guitar) and she can even sing pretty well... Enjoy the bootleg videos!

Our down stairs neighbors are probably going to kill us for this but as many of you might not know I made the Kiss Me Kate ensemble at RMT. (I know I said I didn't but I think someone dropped out so they asked me to fill in) I am really excited to be in the cast however when I auditioned someone forgot to mention that this is a pretty major dance show! DANCE!!!! AHHH!!!




I know right!

And who better to help me step up my dancing talent than my very talented husband so... we pushed all the furniture out of the living room.


And danced until we could dance no more!

So long ZERO dancing ability and HELLO...

* Also there should have been a stylist on set to tell me never to wear a turtle neck and that I should never turn my face to the left and look down because it makes me have a double chin!

Need I Say More!

This past weekend we had the opportunity to watch the Salt Lake City Children's Choir sing at The Cathedral of The Madeline. The concert was free to the public although I'm not sure very many people knew about it since it didn't seem extremely well attended. Anyhow we really enjoyed ourselves and if we are still here next Christmas we'll defiantly make it a tradition.



We also finally got some of our Christmas decorations up and I actually got to use some of the decorations I have been collecting for the past couple of years. (sorry the pictures are kind of crummy)




Also if you noticed I have a different Nativity. I sold my other Willow Tree Nativity on KSL and used the money to buy the bigger version that came out last year. I liked it not just because of the size but also because Mary and Joseph were a lot more colorful and seemed just a bit happier. This version doesn't have nearly as many pieces but I'm hoping the artist will add more as the years go by.



Oh and I bought the stocking hangers at Target but I haven't quite yet decided what to put in them. Any thoughts?

On occasion Toulouse tends to get a little constipated. Which generally wouldn't be much of a problem besides the obvious discomfort for Toulouse. However his run of the mill constipation commonly in tales ear splinting shrieks and while we do feel just awful for him think of how it makes ME look.

I go out to take him for a walk and every 2ft or so he screams so loud that the neighbors come out of their houses to see whats the matter. When I tell them he's just constipated they stand there looking at me in disbelief until mid-conversation Toulouse lets out another terrible screech completely untouched.

I know it seems a little bit insensitive to post the video but I promise he's just fine now. Plus when is the last time you can actually say you saw a dog SCREAM. This was this morning after his walk. He decided he was still a bit constipated and put HIMSELF in the bathtub for a little private time.



* I tell him to get back in because.... well, he made a mess and I didn't want him to get it o the floor. I know I'm such mean pet owner!
