Cree Christmas Party 2012

I look forward to this party every year.  I love shopping for a new special dress (even if I HATE shopping for dresses).  I love going to the fancy party and playing wife to Adam.  I know I'm his wife all the time but I love making conversation with other CREE wives and meeting/seeing Adam's coworkers.  This year and last year we booked a hotel room downtown and left Z with the grandparents giving us a chance to sleep in.  The food is always amazing, the bands are great, and they throw in some fun shows.  Last year they got a bunch of the managers to be in a flash mob, and African Dancers.  This years they had two bands, and the gymnasts that hang from ribbon.

This year didn't disapoint.  I was a bit worried when I found out I was pregnant that I would be huge and miserable but I felt great!  I even found a dress I loved!

I decided that I am going to not drink and wear flats every year...usually by the end of the night my feet kill me and my couple glasses of wine are making me want to sleep.  This year I just needed to put my feet up and give my swollen legs a break.  Because I was pregnant I didn't think twice about having several plates of food in front of me or asking the bar girl to refill the bin of bottled water.  I was well fed and well hydrated...and no matter how enormous I felt I loved how everyone told me I looked AMAZING...I may have figured out something I enjoy about being pregnant.

Adam had a great time letting loose with his friends and drinking some good beer.  It was a much needed party after several months of late nights at the office.
