Bert and Violet's

Without fail, someone has a party planned on my birthday. That party isn't a birthday party for me, but a family Christmas party. 

It is tradition to go Bert and Violet's the Sunday before Christmas. This year it fell on my birthday. Poor Westy and me. Our birthdays are so close to holidays that it is hard to make celebrating fun. {birthdays being so close to the holidays makes eating  birthday cake and getting together not so unique. Eating good food and being together is a normal thing during the holidays}

Anyway... Here are some random pictures. Next year I will take a picture of the forever-the-same food spread with the ever-so-yummy desserts that are also never-changing.

 Westy (yipee! I did get a picture of the punch bowl. Every year it is Cherry 7-up. I LOVE small things like that. I know I am going off on a tangent but when we go to Cafe Rio or Noodles or the Sweet Tooth Fairy, I get the same thing. I LOVE the things that I LOVE too much to try something new.)

 Westy and me.

 Jenni, dad, mum

 gotta get a cousin picture with Zack every year at this partay

We went to Temple Square after. It was a wee bit chilly but it was worth it to see all the lights. (wearing my new white coat from Jeff and Tammy)
