Christmas 2007

Another great Christmas has come and almost gone. Everything from attending the Tabernacle Choir Sunday morning Christmas concert; being in charge of the ward Christmas breakfast; hosting the dessert end of Carl's Verizon HR progressive luncheon; the appetizer part of the ward Relief Society progressive dinner; Christmas Eve festivities; an incredible Christmas buffet created by Shandy and her mom; and Christmas breakfast with the Sweets. We LOVe this time of year and the feeling of gratitude and joy it brings (amidst the stress, but that's OK).

P.S. Carl wants you to know all the Christmas decoration are down and put away!

Variations of this table setup were used several times this season
Carl finally got has often-requested chef's jacket!
This is probably about the 39th year Pat has made crepes for Christmas Eve
Carl has also become a master crepe baker
Carl has convinced Sam it's fun to use a snow thrower
(hmmm, nice way to get someone else to do your work, Carl!)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the silver-haired West Jordan Clarks!

The reason Sam is cleaning the driveway is... I wouldn't let him park on the driveway until it was cleared. (Once you drive on it, it turns to ice... Right Jed?) Carl

I could have gotten you a chef coat long ago. I had no idea!

So true! Even if it means making Cody shovel the driveway when you're out of town! Ice on driveway = unhappy husband! --Jed

Since Rachel Ray is so popular and you are so charismatic Carl...you can retire and embark on a new career as a culinary talk show host...."Cooking with Carl". I'm sure you'll invite all your extended family members to be the very first guests on this new show...
