Last night was Matt's annual Christmas party, and it was held downtown at the Convention Center. It was a pretty big deal -- around 900 people and really nice.... free drinks, decent food, great entertainment, and the prizes they give away are amazing (cameras, computers, video game systems, camcorders, navigation systems, and a 50 inch flat screen tv to name a few). We had a great time hanging out with Matt's co-workers!
We decided to park in Matt's work parking garage and make the several block walk to the party though the sky walk system. I was taking it all in. It has been nearly 2.5 years since I stopped working and returning to my old stomping ground left me speechless at times. It was so strange to be back there. As odd as this sounds, all the sights, sounds and smells seemed so familiar, yet I didn't feel like I belonged there anymore... and I don't really... It was such a foreign feeling being there again.... nothing has changed, yet EVERYTHING has changed.
Overall it was a great night. Matt and I had a chance to spend some time together without the kiddos, and they got to spend the night with my parents. I think Katherine and Caleb were glad we left for the night too! When we got home, I found my mom and Katherine asleep in her bed, and when I woke up my mom Katherine burst into tears. She insisted that Grammy have a sleepover with her. Then, when I went to get Caleb out of bed this morning, the first thing he said to me was, "Where my Grandma?? Want to play with Pop-pops!". Sounds like Matt and I need to go out more often!!
Tonight I had a girls night out with Kelly and Melissa. We went out to dinner and then did a little shopping. Remember when I mentioned that I was trying to find Katherine some new dresses? Well I found one tonight at the Gap. It was super cute -- a light weight brown corduroy jumper with hot pink trim and a hot pink shirt to go underneath. Oh, and it was on sale!! WOO-HOO! I also got her a super cute pink sweatshirt that will be perfect for playing outside at preschool.
