The Butler's Second Annual Ugly Turtleneck Eggnog Sweater Party

So we hosted our second ugly sweater party this year and it was pretty ugly! We had our good friends over who came dressed prepared to win the prize for the ugliest sweater. We played a Christmas trivia game...come to find out, my Christmas trivia knowledge is lacking somewhat. But the best part of it all were the ugly sweaters, the white elephant gifts, and the grand prize for the ugliest sweater. Too bad the snowman on my sweater started melting halfway through the party. Just let me know if you want to purchase Kyle's sweater, it is now up for sale for next year!

The Hoover Dam

We drive through the Hoover Dam quite often during our trips home to Vegas and Utah. While we have a love hate relationship with Hoover, we are simultaneously amazed at the construction process of the new bridge. This bridge has been in the works for 9 years now and is supposedly expected to be finished by the end of next year. We cannot wait to drive over this bridge while not getting stuck at the dam for an hour or more. We love Hoover's new bridge and will be so excited to drive across it. You can check out more pictures at http://www.hooverdambypass.org/Const_PhotoAlbum.htm#Nov2009_Bridge. I am now going to post pictures of the Hoover bridge from each trip we take...and hopefully by next Christmas I can post a picture from the top of this bridge!
