I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Vick Annual Christmas Party 2010

This years Christmas party was a blast! We traveled up to Belinda's house and enjoyed great food and awesome company!

Before dinner the kids got to help decorate cookies! They had a blast! I made Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Cookies. Alyssa LOVED licking the rubber scrapper!





After dinner we headed down to Salt Lake and walked around Temple Square to enjoy the Christmas lights. This year was really crowded! I'm not sure if we will do that anymore. I think I'd rather stay home and either play games or watch a great movie... we'll see!
