Christmas Party

So Friday night Scott and I were able to go out and enjoy ourselves at the Christmas party put on by the wives/advocate group. As soon as I found out the date and time I found a babysitter and took no excuses. We were going out. But early Thursday morning Scott woke me to say that he was sick and was not going to work. I knew he was serious if he called off work. He ended up sleeping all day. I was not sure if we would be going. After about 24 hrs of sleep he felt much better and I got the green light for the party. One more hurdle, the kids I watch. Lately, they have been going home by five every night. I get a call from Brenner's mom and she said that Brian was stuck in the OR and she was on call. She wasn't sure if Brian would be here in time for us to go. Thankfully Brian was able to get out and pick Brenner up on time. The babysitter was on time but we were running a tad behind. I called Mary to have her save seats for us. We weren't terribly late and once again I was in such a rush I forgot to grab my camera. So thanks Mary and Kelly for sharing your pictures. They were all still socializing when we arrived. After about 30-40 minutes of talking dinner was served. We started out with a yummy salad and fresh rolls. The main course was fillet mignon and chicken breast with red potatoes. For dessert we had creme bruilet(?). I have never tried it before and was surprised that it wasn't too bad. Mary and Stacy liked the burnt sugar. I had a few bites but had enough after that. We hung out talking with our friends and then decided to call it a night and head home. I am so glad that it all worked out and that Scott and I had a chance to have some time together.
