Our Christmas Party

Blake's work had thier holiday party last night. It was such a fun evening! Kimberly and I put in a lot of work helping out and everything turned out just fabulous at the end. There were some awesome door prizes to be won...sadly I didn't win anything, however, Kim did! She won the ipod! How great is that? There was a grand prize at the end of the night that everyone wanted. A 42 inch flat screen plasma hidef tv. Yes...we were hoping that maybe we would win this (as was everyone in the room!). The chaplain ended up winning it, which I think is great. He donated it to the airmen in the dorms. I think he was going to put it in their main dayroom or something. I thought that was great. The food turned out to be amazing. You always wonder at bigger functions, but it was great. We had a nice table of people and everyone got along. I won the center piece! That was cool for me. The spouse organization was in charge of getting the center pieces for the tables, and at the last minute, we were 5 short, so I put together the last five. I thought they turned out fabulous, and I got to bring one home! I was so very happy. There were a couple of games that we played. One of them, the highest ranking person at the table had to stand up, and we got to decorate them as a christmas tree. Hee hee...can you guess who our highest ranking person was? That's right, it was Blake!!! He was a good sport, though and totally participated without even a single grimace. We didn't win, although we didn't have very good decorations to work with. I thought we did excellent with what we had. We ended up getting home around 11, which isn't too late. It was such a nice night. Everyone seemed to have a really good time.

As per request....here is an updated side shot from me....We are currently 32 1/2 weeks and really really waiting for February! I feel as if it will never come....but I know it will. My mother will be here in a month, and once she gets here, Cara can come at any point. Woo hoo!!!! I certainly seemed to have gained a lot of weight in the last month. I just keep getting bigger and bigger. I guess this means a healthy baby, right????? (this is what I tell myself...) :)
