Company Christmas Party - In NOVEMBER???

Yes, the company warned us that the Christmas party might be a wee bit early this year, but we had no idea it would be so early we might be tempted to dress as pilgrims and indians! I mean how often could you wear a head band with colored feathers and it be appropriate? We did, as a side note, eat turkey and dressing while we were there. Is it bad that I ate three pieces of pumpkin pie too? I think not. I mean, they would have thrown it away if it were left over right? And no sense in that right? So I was just making sure we weren't wasteful. Yah.

It was a casino/Vegas themed party. I am a big fan of the slot machines, but, I almost hate to admit, I have never even played Blackjack before. What better time to learn than with play money!?!?!?

After ALLEN lost ALL my chips, we sat back down at our table with our good friends Alynn and Ryan, and proceeded to (very maturely) snap random and silly photos of each other. Everyone that works with me knows that if nothing else, I always try to be the utmost authority on behaving professionally. ;)

Below are a few shots of the party.

Tomorrow Allen, Alex, and I leave to go to Arkansas to see Al's extended family. Alex will meet his cousin Preston for the first time. They are only 2 months (right Kelly? Two months?) apart. So I am sure I will return with lots of photos from that. And cats. I always manage to take tons of pictures of cats while I am out there as well. A guns. Always photos of guns too.

Inner monologue: You know, we always target practice with beer cans but maybe since there are so many cats around.......

Looking good Big Money

Alynn and I goof off.
A lot.

I love this gal!

I can not believe that Monday is going to be December 1st.
