Thanksgiving Trip 2010 Part 3 - The Buffet

By Pam Jorgensen -
The main reason for traveling up to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving was to join Greg and Cheryl and their family at the Grand America Hotel's Thanksgiving Buffet!  They have come up for this for a few years and talk all about how much food there is and how good it is!  When they invited us to join them this year, we were so excited!  Let me tell you...with all their talk about it, it was even better!

Our family by one of the many hotel Christmas trees


Carson loved this Candy Cane tree so much we wanted our picture taken by it.


It was funny to see that 10 out of the 16 of us showed up in grays and black!
Very monochrome


Here are the coloful people

See my Thanksgiving dinner?
Bacon, berries, crab, oysters, salmon, prime rib, crab cake and under the bacon is sweet potatoes!


Brooke and Mitch


Chase and Carson


Greg, Chase, Scott and Mitch all pose with Carson, imitating his cheesy smile

Rylee Jean ate all the jello


Carson did eat healthy food before he attacked the kid sized candy table...I promise!


Allie, Jon, Brooke and Carson


Jon, Mitch, Chase and Scott

Brooke was so full she had to lay down on the floor...while we waited for the hotel photographer to take our group picture


Carson and I re-enacting the scene from Elf pushing all the buttons in the elevator


"It looks like a Christmas Tree"


After the buffet we went to hang out at Greg and Cheryl's room to chat and recover from the tons of food we all ate.  However, the cleaning lady was in there so we hung out in the hall waiting and chatting.  
Thanks so much Greg and Cheryl for the fantastic feast!

A Game of Memory

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
