Work Christmas

This year with the economy not so hot we decided to do a little someth'n someth'n with our us bonus $ instead of shopping (Our boss is wonderful and gives us an incentive bonus pool that we ually go shopping with). Anywho we were able to use donations from that pool to buy a bunch of scarves, hats, gloves, and coats to handout this morning at the SLC mission (not LDS mission but a place where people who are struggling can recieve donations and breakfast before they go out on the job hunt). It was fun and cold so I'm glad we were able to bring a little warmth to those people. We handed out some donated donuts, coffee and sandwiches. Then we went out as an office for breakfast as our Christmas party. We saw this huge gingerbread house below.
