My WoRk ChRiStMaS PaRtY...With a BiT oF a TWIST

This last week was my work Christmas Party at the Prairie Schooner. Lets just say I never thought I would be caught dressed up, singing and dancing at a place that is suppose to be somewhat classy...but folks I DID! My friend and I decided at the last minute to do a little program at our party and surprise everyone. So the day of the party, while we were working, we put our minds to work at the same time to come up with something out of the ordinary!!! Well the day was about half over and the party was only a few hours away when we finally decided what the heck...lets do it! In the few hours we had, we ran down a Santa costume, hit Fun Dazs for an Elf suit and microphones, rounded up the song "Baby its Cold Outside" from the movie Elf, rushed to Walmart for some candycanes, and did somewhat of a pre-game before the show!

We broke away for a bathroom break (at least that is what everyone thought we were doing) and changed into our get up! Lets just say everyone was quite surprised and were a little shocked at the scene.

I think the doctor thought we were a little crazy...but loved every minute of it!!! He should be use to us by now...since how he has to work with us everyday!

I was hoping Devin would still claim me as his wife after all was said and done...as most of you know he is a ham himself so I was safe.

We had a great night with yummy food, gift exchanging, socializing, and cheap entertainment... ha ha ha!!!

LeT tHe PARTIES BeGin!!!

Miles Party

This was our first party out of the many we have planned for the season. We love this time of year and are excited to spend time with family and friends!

We had a great time at the Miles Party. It consisted of Devin and I, his parents, siblings, and all of the cute little nieces and nephews. We ate yummy food, played fun games, the cousins did a gift exchange, and this year the theme for the adult exchange was food storage. One of the fun traditions we do each year for Christmas is... each family thinks of a service project and has it completed by the party to report on what they did. It is such a great tradition and it is so fun to see what everyone comes up with.

The cousins all got together on the couch for a picture before the party began...so CUTE!!!



We all had so much fun. It is great to spend time with family! We are thankful for all of our family members and the memories that are built when we're together!

FaMiLy PiC

Even though family pictures are the dreaded thing (for me anyways), it was fun to snap a few family pictures at Thanksgiving.

I had to post this picture of my dad. We snapped it as he was waiting for everyone else to get ready. I love this picture. It is such a great picture of him, especially with the sheep in the background. My dad is such a great guy. I love him so much, he is definitely someone I look up to and is a great example to me.
