Last year when I was visiting Scott in Utah during Thanksgiving we had this amazing date.
We recreated the date again this year. Early in December Scott took me to McGrath's and again we had a wonderful meal! After our tummies were full we walked around Temple Square and enjoyed the Spirit and lights and brisk walk!
We warmed up at Melting Pot for dessert and some sparkling peach juice! Scott secretly called and got reservations for our romantic night. He simply succeeds at impressing me.
A week later Scott had his work Christmas party. As we sat at a table with a couple we knew the wife said 'hey I hope we win that popcorn maker so we can re-gift it and give it to your sister'. So all night we were hoping they got the popcorn maker. As the drawing occurred the couple sadly received the Mag-lite combo pack and Scott received the popcorn maker and 8 pounds of kernels I am in heaven! I love it. It is such a fun novel way to pop corn and fills my salty crunchy cravings.
December 12 marked the day that Ichiban Sushi opened in Vernal Utah. Scott and I had to try it! We went on the third day it was open and while the waiters were running around crazy and unsure of the menu we had an enjoyable experience. We ordered a variety plate of sushi with a spicy tuna roll. It landed on our table in a boat (in the above picture--the rice covered stuff is the spicy tuna roll, then the red is tuna, and white tuna, snapper and yellow tail) the squid has the black belt of sea weed wrapped around it, the shiny looking one was saba and was quite good). It was so fun! Scott is such a wonderful adventurous man. He ate the squid roll while I only ate one bite. I just could not do it. He totally made my night.
As Christmas gets closer our little tiny tree is getting quite the mound of presents around it. I am pretty excited for Scott to see what I got for him. As many of you know it is tricky with online banking to secretly purchase something online without the charge appearing and being spied by both of the account users. The stuff I bought at local stores is easy-cash. But online shopping is harder to hide. I think I might have slipped on a couple gifts but I hid my Amazon orders on our account and I erased all viewing histories so maybe just maybe I will surprise him. Regardless I am really quite pleased with our little tree in a pot and we stayed in our budget!
Suzie loves Scott. There is no butts about it. She lives for the moment he gets home from work. She knows the sound of his truck. She simply unconditionally loves him and this pic shows it! The look in Suzie's eyes says it all!
I hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas and that December has been a wonderful month of tradition and love. Thank each one of you readers! I know who you are even if you do not leave a comment. I appreciate that you visit and wonder how I am doing. I wonder what you are doing as well! Merriest of Christmases!!!!

i love that you went back to temple square for a re-creation of your date there. Making traditions as a little family is the best!! i SOOOO know how you feel about the "sneaky" shopping! It's so hard to keep a surprise! Suzie is a crack up, she is definitely daddy's girl according to that pic!
Just saw the other post....hope you stay warm...in more ways than one :) Merry Christmas!
Mairy Christmas :) Did you know I usually don't comment bc I check your blog from my iPod and the commenting portion rarely works on blogger for my iPod. I always enjoy your comments on my blog tho! Sadly I accidentally hit delete instead of publish on my wisdom teeth blog....iPod's fault again, haha. Anyway so very happy that you and Scott continue your wonderful traditions!
