Festivities

It's that time of year again, christmas trees, christmas lights, presents, and the best...baking!

Today, we put up our christmas tree and re-organized the front room.



We also did some baking. We made some bark.




I got an early birthday present



And the dogs even got along today!

Peeping Tom

We have our own little peeping tom.

Marine Corp Ball

Every year, David and I go to the Marine Corp Ball. This year, his work only has 12 active duty marines and 1 navy corpsman. But they have 90 reservist who were also required to come. The past couple of years, due to his large commands, it was only his work. This year, it was nice to see a lot of retired marines to come and their families. David and I were able to sit with our good friends, eat horrible food, and due to exhaustion, leave before the dancing even started! i think we were asleep before 11 pm that night! Some of my highlights for the day:
1. Got my toes done
2. Got ready with my good friend Thaomee
3. Thought my 2 friends and I looked the best. We didn't look like hookers like half of the wives/girlfriends did.

It was nice because David wasn't in the ceremony so we were able to sit next to each other.

Here is a picture of my friend Thaomee and I.


Thank you Jeni for making me such a beautiful custom dress! I love you! And Thaomee also made her way awesome dress!
