Christmas Party Time


Last night Karen came over to play with Alex while we attended Brad's Christmas party, which we so appreciated!! It was a lovely night, just like last year, and I only fell out of my shoes twice! This year's entertainment was a hypnotist (last year it was a psychic) and there were plenty of employees and spouses willing to make fools of themselves in front of the crowd.

The best part of the evening was the location of our table. It was adjacent to the chocolate fountain, which happened to open up during the hypnotist's show. Everyone was so enamored with the show that they hopefully did not notice my numerous trips to the fountain :) The coffee bar had some pretty yummy non-alcoholic/decaf options available too.




Today I took Alex to the annual children's Christmas party sponsored by the refinery. Each child received a wrapped, age-appropriate gift from Santa, which is very generous considering all the children of employees who attend each year! We played a few games and ate lunch, then came home and made some more holiday treats. Brad is off all day tomorrow and for that we are incredibly thankful. We are all looking forward to spending the day together.
