When I saw the long line of Charter buses waiting to pick everyone up and shuttle us downtown, I knew that this wasn't going to be a quiet, little Christmas party. There were at least 20,000 people there. I'm not exaggerating. It was huge!
The food was delicious. Our favorite part was probably the dessert buffet. They had these little orange squares that Kent described as "squares of love." Airy passion fruit-mango something.
I don't know what they were exactly, but they were good!
I would have taken a picture of them, but in the midst of me telling our babysitter every single thing I know about Nicholas before we left, I forgot to grab my camera. Boo.
As for the entertainment, they had a gymnastics team, ballroom dancers, a stomp-style group called Jingo, "Candini the Mentalist," a fudge demonstration from Rocky Mountain Chocolate company, and a concert by REO Speedwagon.
Oh, and a casino and karaoke, but I don't participate in either of those activities.
Now, I'm only going to say three things about REO Speedwagon.
- I have only ever heard one of their songs.
- I don't think they have cut their hair or changed their outfits since 1983.
- They were loud. Unbelievably loud.
I think that next year they should get Josh Groban to come.
We came home to find Nicholas all cozy in bed. Beautiful.
It was a fabulous night, and I'm so glad we went!

Happy Day
awwww, that sounds so fun! I miss company parties... never thought I'd say that - I used to feel like I never knew anybody, it was hard to find just the right thing to wear, i used to sort of dread them but now that we don't have them, I miss it! It's fun to get all dressed up and have a fancy evening out, all paid for! You look great Rebecca! (oh and so does Kent!)
That is a BIG party--Five of my hometowns could have went to that party (Salmon population 4,000)! I am glad you had a good time. You looked beautiful. Also, doesn't it feel good to know your baby can survive a babysitter?
Your dress looks gorgeous! And wow, that was one big party - how fun and crazy at the same time :). Was it so weird to leave your baby with a sitter? I remember when mine were little like that, I had the hardest time leaving, even though I needed it. So glad it all went well :).
