Christmas party

Last Saturday was my church's annual Christmas party. I know what you're thinking, and just because it was a church party doesn't mean it was boring. As usual, it was held at our former pastors house which is a beautiful old victorian style home in the Highlands of Louisville. She has the perfect home for Christmas entertaining. Add about 70 people, food, music, beverages, and a "best dressed" contest and you have yourself quite an evening. It was an evening filled with fellowship and fun. Oh, and I was the female "best dressed" winner...which i know is hard for some of you to believe since i'm never well dressed. My trusty senior prom dress has never failed to knock out the competition though, and this evening was no exception.


Tiffany, me, Katie, and Kelly

Jenny and I don't half-ass things...so we went all out for the dress up contest. (Jenny is actually wearing a women's suit that my mom gave me last year and I tucked away thinking "this may come in handy someday"- note the silky lapel). Here, we decided to do a "senior prom" picture. A HUGE thanks to Jenny for agreeing to play along and be my "prom date" If only we'd had a balloon arch.

scott begged me to take a picture with him, so i obliged. :)

And this one isn't at the christmas party. Towards the end of the summer Catherine, Katie, Tiff, and I competed in a win, lose, or draw, game night to raise money for charity. The prize was a dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and despite the fact that half of our team abandoned the game halfway through, we still managed to emerge victorious. That was in August. Finally, on monday December 17, team "baby fish mouth" celebrated our win, lose, or draw victory with dinner at the CPK. Spinach artichoke dip, miso salad, goat cheese pizza ..mmmm. They were playing a lot of good songs over the speakers that night and so we broke into song a few times too. We could have easily been on an episode of the partridge family or some 80's sitcom. good times.
