B&M Christmas Party

We had a busy weekend beginning with our breakfast with Santa Saturday morning, and later that evening we had the annual Burns and McDonnell Christmas party. This year it was at the Overland Park convention center. It somehow works to Eric's advantage that I am always pregnant at these parties, meaning he gets to use my drink tickets!!! Well not next year, I'm on to his little games!!! As always, the food was delicious, and even though we didn't win any door prizes we had a great time. It seems like most all of the people he works with are over 6ft tall, so I was feeling obligated to wear some high heels just so I don't look like a midget. Come to find out 3rd trimester pregnancy and high heels don't mix. They do a happy hour/appetizers in the lobby for an hour before dinner so we were standing the whole time and I felt like I was going to tip over! Eric just kept laughing at me! As soon as we got in the car I made him take my shoes off for me. He does have one short friend there, Annie, and I just love her because we are the same height!!!

Chip came out to babysit the kids for us, so I made him take our picture before we left. We had a really fun time, and it's just nice to get dressed up and go out and have some 'adult time' once in a while.

Sunday was busy as well....Eric went into work at about 4am b/c he has a big project due on Thursday. I had a date in Columbia to meet up with my Rolla friends, Linda and Keri, to have lunch and shop. Once again Uncle Chipper came to the rescue to babysit! Whatever did we do before he moved back to town?! He came over around 830 so I could leave and stayed until Eric got home, around noon.

We had a busy but fun weekend however I am completely exhausted. Eric was up again this morning and into work at 4AM, which meant I had to get everyone out the door early and try to get to work on time. I'm getting to the point where sleeping comfortably is a real challenge...I either can't breath or move, or I'm up every hour to pee! Thank goodness I have tomorrow off to rest and work on wrapping the presents.
