HSBC Christmas Gala

Russell and I had 2 Christmas parties to attend Saturday. In the afternoon we had our S.S. Christmas party and had a wonderful time, rushed home, and got ready for the Gala. Nate & Dawn saved a table for us and many of our friends; thanks guys! We wish they had bigger tables so all of us could have sat together, but it was nice to see everyone. It wasn't organized as well as it should have been but we had a great time. Russell even taught me how to play blackjack.

Girls Day Out

I worked 12 hours Wednesday and slept in late Thursday, so I didn't get to Stephanie's when I planned. (Sorry Stephanie!!) We had coffee and visited for a couple of hours and then we went shopping. Stephanie, Victoria, and I went to Ollie's and had a great time shopping and looking through the books, etc. We purchased many great deals! I love buying books at such a low price. After shopping we ate lunch at Boston Market. Victoria is the best little girl to take shopping and out to lunch; she was happy the whole time. It was a great day together. We need to do it again soon! Next time we'll take Natalie as she has never been to Ollie's.
