Bain Holiday Bash

This weekend was the big work Christmas party. I was pretty excited because I got to buy a fun "dressy cocktail" dress and I always love having yummy food for free. The place that they had it was very "sassy", if you have ever been in a hotel Zaza, it had that same feel. We were a little disappointed because instead of having tables and seating, it was all finger foods and you just found a chair where ever you could. It felt like a longer happy hour where you had to dress nice. They had a band which was fun. It was pretty entertaining watching some of the drinkers, and a BYU student that was showing off his smooth moves (they weren't really that smooth, he could move his feet mighty fast). My favorite part of the entire night was the photo booth. We would have done it all night if there wasn't a man keeping watch. We got some fun pictures!

Billy's company had a Children's Christmas Party today. They had Santa there to get pictures with him, arts and crafts and pizza. Kenslee was so excited, she couldn't wait to go to Daddy's work and see Santa. On the drive to the party I kept giving Kens a pep talk about how nice Santa is and how if she sits on his lap he will give her a candy cane. I think it worked because she sat on his lap but she would not look at him. It was really funny because he would talk to her and she wouldn't turn her head she would just look at him really quickly out of the corner of her eye. Then after a little bit it seemed like she went to her happy place, because she was in a daze and would not snap out of it until we took her off of Santa's lap. She was very happy that she got a candy cane from him.

We have done a few other fun Christmas activities. We made Gingerbread men with some friends and went to a Christmas Parade. I have never been to a Christmas parade, but it was very odd because it was 80 degrees that day so it didn't feel like Christmas.

Just a little R and R!
