Saturday was a busy day for us--we had "
Capn' Nate's" pirate party for the kiddos (which was
SOoOO cute. Leigh rocked the pirate theme--to the point that her husband even built a "plank" out in the backyard for the kids to walk. Lucas loved it. ) And afterwards, we took our boys to parents night out at our church for the first time. I was pretty nervous about leaving Alex since he is still so young, but the nursery workers assured us he would be fine. So Josh and I headed to his department Christmas party. First there was a
pre-party at Lloyd and Kara's place. Kara had it decorated very cute and she had the BEST drinks--I have never had a Grasshopper before and have discovered that I heart them!! (Pictured above in case you were wondering what the heck that was a photo of! You know, with two boys in the house it could have been something gruesome!) Don't worry--I only had a couple, but I could have easily chugged the whole container. I really like anything with mint, though.
Josh and Lloyd enjoyed the Eggnog--it was HEAVILY spiked of course. Next we headed to Vic and
Rhonda's mansion (yes, its HUGE) for the actual party. It was very well attended--many of the department heads, none of whom I know, were in attendance. This was the first year they have held the party off campus (a HUGE improvement!) and that they served alcohol (If I'm going to attend it, I better be drinking...anesthesiologists are a fairly dry group). They were joking about making everyone sign a waiver saying the hospital was not responsible for accidents/
behaviour...at least, I think it was a joke! Josh and I got all gussied up...
Look how old and fat we look. Bummer. The kids had to be picked up by 8:30, so Josh came home briefly to help me get them to bed and then he went back and partied until four am. Yes, FOUR in the morning. I don't know how he does it! I heard the night ended with my husband giving a banana bag IV to one of the party guests...which is a bit weird, but hey, they are all doctors and I guess their idea of a good time is a little different from mine (I'd rather set myself on fire than get an IV).

I think we were up blogging at the same time tonight - I made a comment earlier and then when I headed back to your post there was a new one!
Sounds like you had a fun time Saturday night - too bad you couldn't close the party down with your hubbie!
Oh - and I just came back again to say you are not fat. I thought you were looking great on Saturday - you've been dropping "baby weight" quickly!
ditto, i think you are looking good in that red top!!
I'm glad you liked the Grasshoppers...they are one of my favorites and no one drinks them with me. Lloyd says they are too girlie! Now I can have a grasshopper partner!
I am catching up on commenting...
I think you look GREAT.
4 AM. Wow. I don't remember the last time I stayed up until 4AM. I would just keep thinking... "i am getting up in 2 hours."
