Heaven's only an hour away.

And this is what it looks like....



Over our holiday break we had a great Thanksgiving dinner in Midway, thanks to Inez, Kathy, and Malece! It was so nice to have work off for a 4 day weekend just to relax (most of the time) and be with my husband in such a pretty place.Let me tell you, it was much needed! And no class was an added bonus as well! After Thanksgiving dinner, Blake and I headed off to Park City where we stayed a night at the The Landmark Inn. FYI the beds were exquisite and it was only 50 bucks! Moving on... the morning after Thanksgiving we all headed out to assist with a Wilde Family tradition, decorating Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley. So at 7:30am we all ventured out of our cozy hotel rooms to meet at the decoration room at Stein's. Little did I know what was ahead of me.

In a good way of course. ;)
After 12 or so hours of decorating, we had the Lodge lit-up, bow tied, garland strung, and every other kind of decorating that you can imagine, all but finished. It was fun getting to chit chat with all the Wilde fam throughout the day as we all worked worked worked. Our biggest venture to tackle was the 30 foot tree that went in the main lobby of the Lodge, there is a picture below. We had bins chuck full of lights, none of us know how many sets went on this tree but I swear to you it was millions! But it turned out great! Blake and the boys got a workout trying to hang all the ornaments. I think by the end of the night they were doing it blindfolded. Chucking them with all their might. Blake said it was his job to throw them and they would land where they were meant to be. Mmmhmm.

He is inventive I'll give him that =)


But it turned out to be a great weekend! We got to stay in a 5 bedroom suite with our own hottub and life couldnt have been better! Not many people get to return to their honeymoon spot 6 months later so that was lots of fun!

Thanks to the Wildes for the fun time!

Nice job saucy pants. We heard that one of the lodges in Deer Valley was buying this blown glass tree that lit up to music at the Festival. It STARTED at $25,000, but when to silent bid, so we were guessing it had to be Stein's or somebody that was bidding on it!
