Last night was the annual Bar Association's Presidents Reception. It was nine years ago when Chris asked me if I would join him for this event. It is tons of free food and drink so of course I said "yes." Every year when this event approaches we know it is time to celebrate the anniversaryof our first date. Last year I didn't go because I was pregnant and couldn't stand to be around a bunch of drunken lawyers. This year was different. Chris and I got dressed up and left Lillie with Draven. That was scary, but he has babysat a little at a time before and this was only going to be an hour and a half. We left around 7:15pm. We arrived at 7:30 and had lots of food and two drinks each. By 8:45 we were out the door and done. Usually the dinner ends then everyone heads to the party suites of the hotel for more drinking till sun up. Not us. We just wanted to get out of the house and be together as a couple. It was so nice. We held hands, laughed, talked, kissed. Just perfect. Draven did such a great job babysitting. He didn't call me at all and only called Auntie Lo once. He even discovered that Lillie loves water in her bottle. Pretty clever! When we came home we put Lillie to bed then watched Top Chef with Draven. By 10pm we were all in bed. I have to say it was a great evening!
THis year the theme was "Life's a beach." Pretty lame. We did bring home some drink umbrellas, beach balls, and leis for Draven.
Chris favorite part of the party... Shrimpzilla!
And of course a whole roast pig!
