John Deere Christmas Party

Saturday night, Tom and I got all decked out and went to the John Deere Christmas Party. We lined up a babysitter, Chris, Kristi and the boys, a while back. It wasn't hard to find one as they jumped on the opportunity when I told them about the party. So it was all planned and it worked out perfectly. Kristi called me earlier that day and asked if it'd be OK if they came to pick up Cooper early and go to her parents. Chris and a few of the boys were hunting at Kristi's parent's so it worked out perfectly. Kristi, Justin, Cole and Alec all came to get Cooper. He was excited to get to hang with them for a while.

Tom and I made a quick stop to Target before heading to The Julien. The party started at 6:00. We got there and hung out with a couple people that we know. They had heavy hor devours (not sure how to spell that) but they had lots of food. Good ole' finger food! There were a lot of people and not a lot of tables, so by the time we left, my feet were killing me. We ended up leaving around 8:30. We got a few video's from Chris and Cooper seemed to be having a blast. I sure wish I could share the video, it's so darn cute, but not sure how to do that from a text message. Since he was in such good hands we decided to head over to the casino. We walked away with $10 ahead so I'd say it was a good trip! After the casino we stopped at Hammerhead's where Johhny Trash was playing and it was free cover charge so we thought what the heck, it's early. We both said to each other, "we'd be home in our jammies" this was about 7:00 when we said that. But it was nice going out and enjoying each other. We don't do it often enough and I know we should but I'm just content with staying home especially since it's getting much colder.

The night was great. We picked up Cooper around 11:30 and he slept the whole ride home, put him to bed and he was up at 5:30 and didn't want to go back to bed, so needless to say, I was tired on Sunday.

Here is the only picture I got of the night. Oops!
