The Daily Dish Video Clip

The video is up!  Ha ha!  We had a blast filming with them and totally enjoyed spending the morning in the studio.  We checked in and waited for a few minutes in the 'green room.'  Then we met with Whitney the producer for the show and she took us into the studio.  She told us when we would be up and then we just watched some of the other crews that were filming the weather, news, etc.... and then waited until it was our turn.  We got to meet Nicea Degering and Brianne Johnson (the hosts) who were funny and very friendly! 

We made them wear sweaters during the clip and we just had a good time.  It was a little awkward when I had to turn around and show the back of my sweater, ha!   Thanks for coming Monica and enjoy the little video clip.  What a fun tradition that we have!  Here are pics that I snapped in the studio:

The Daily Dish show was awesome!  I will post more about it later this week.  It was way fun and I am glad that I (we) did it. 

Just a sneak peak

The 7th Annual Neck N Nog - Sweater and Wassail party was a success!!  Thanks to everyone who came, helped set up, brought desserts, etc......  It was such a fun night!  Below are a few pics that I took with the iphone and the recipe that I used for the wassail. 

I will post the official pics later this week.  There are tons of them that we need to go through and then they will be up for your viewing pleasure.  So stay tuned. 

WASSAIL RECIPE:

8 cups of apple juice

4 cups of orange juice

1 cup lemon juice

a dash of brown sugar

1 tablespoon allspice berries

1 teaspoon of whole cloves

3-4 cinnamon sticks

*Add all ingredients together in a large saucepan.  Simmer for at least 30 minutes while stirring occasionally.  It will also add a great scent to your home.  Enjoy!

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

I don't want to jump the gun or anything, but I am way too excited for this and have to get you guys excited for this year's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, otherwise known as 'The Neck N Nog - Sweater & Wassail Party.'

This is the 7th year of doing the party, and I still love it.  I have been hitting up all of the DI and Savers stores and getting more mugs and looking for the perfect sweater or turtleneck to wear.  You have to go early or else the good ones go quick, trust me.  And you always get a few weird looks when you are browsing sweaters in the women's section, ha! 

We will have yummy desserts, home made wassail, hot cocoa and egg nog.  And the photo booth will also be there to capture all of these great moments. 

This year the party will be back in Salt Lake City, and here in the invite that my sister made.  She is also helping me host the party this year. 

So save the date, December 11, 2011 at 6:30 pm in SLC and get your festive clothes and Christmas Spirit ready!  It's gonna be a great party, like they always are.

Flash Back Friday

STARTING TODAY -

I have this new idea.  So starting today and every Friday from here on out I will post some pic(s) and we will Flash Back to the past and re-live something thru the photo(s).  So here we go, flash back #1!

These pics are from the 2nd Neck n Nog Sweater & Wassail Party that we had over 5 years ago!  Man, how the time flies.  Life was really different back then.  I was a student, working full-time and just enjoying life in P-town.  The annual party has come a long way and it gets me even more excited for this year's celebrations.  It's only a little over 2 months away!  I better go sweater shopping and pick up some more mugs here soon so I can be prepared!
