It was a great chance to get all decked out and have a night out! After several outfit changes (thank you Ashley!) we were very ready to go! The girls had their usual great babysitter...of course as you can see by the hand at the bottom of this picture...Aube didn't quite want us to go!
We are pretty lucky with this job...we found out last night that in James' department, we are surrounded by 2 other awesome LDS couples and one very nice couple that shares our same standards! We were all quite the gambling-virgins (though I do admit to playing slots and Keno when we were in Vegas....I mean, come one! It's VEGAS) and kept ourselves thoroughly entertained playing CRAPS! One of the other couples we got to spend time with were the Pools, Kristy was my co-conspirator in winning lots of "money" on the "field" or "passline"...we really had no idea what we were doing....but we did win enough chips to keep our husbands playing blackjack after they lost all their money!!! It wasn't real money, unfortunately...but its even more fun to gamble with FAKE money....I couldn't even imagine losing hundreds of dollars (like James did.) VERY fun night...my feet are still killing me. We were too busy "gambling" to bustamove on the dance floor....though I was VERY close to going and showing my knowledge of the Electric Slide (no party is complete with out THE ELECTRIC SLIDE! Hey...I danced to it at my wedding...).I just have to say...good job XTO!
As for tonite....after a short night at work....we are chillaxin' by the fire....THE FIRE! Can you believe it, we have been in this house for 2 years, and we have finally lit the fireplace with a great "faog" (fake log...duh).
The only thing I wish was different about our fireplace is that there is no mantel! Just these odd sticky-outtie things....It's gonna be interesting to see where I can hang our stockings for Santa....if I can get around to making them!!
