So this past weekend the husband and I got all dolled up and went to his company's Christmas bash, which is always just way, way fun.
Much merriment ensued, what with an open bar and a hotel reservation -- and no babysitter with a curfew, either!
We have come to look forward to this annual casino night, which I think is so much more fun than watching a bunch of whippersnappers dancing to music that I don't know or like.
Instead, we feel like high rollers, gambling away our play money. It's so freeing to bet a thousand dollars -- and then to say, "Oh heck -- make it two thousand!"
A fabulous time, with terrifically fun friends -- it was a great way to celebrate!+++
Our Advent calendar book today is Big Susan. Mr. and Mrs. Doll and their children and servants belong to Big Susan, and live in a house with no front. On Christmas Eve every year, they can move about without needing Susan to help them.This is such a sweet story -- thanks, Cassi Renee!
This is the third year my daughter has had this book (we put Christmas books away each year, and then take them back out in early December) and she still loves it, at 11 years old.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really fun night out, and you both look smashing.
