Quin and I had a pretty busy weekend. Friday afternoon I spent preparing food for our ward Christmas Party and then spent Friday night at the ward party. It was a lot of fun and good to spend time with our church friends! Unfortunately we realized too late that we should have brought our camera.
Saturday morning Quin's company had their annual year end employee appreciation brunch. It was held at the Petroleum Club, a really exclusive club that you can only belong to if you are a big wig in the petroleum business, so Quin's bosses were nice enough to extend their elite status to us for a day! It was beautiful and the food was delicious! It was fun to visit with people. We sat at a table with Rob and Greer Garcia and their son Rocco, Jeseka Snider, Amanda and her son Benjamin, and Amanda's ego-centric sister Lisa Marie Val Verde. The big boss was the MC and was kind of struggling so he asked for jokes from the audience (you know you are dying when you have to ask the audience for jokes). Well in a room full of engineers the jokes are few and far between, so after a few minutes of sweating it out, he started asking where Quin was. He caught us sneaking to the buffet table and had Quin tell a joke. S0 of course Quin was the hit of the party and afterward people kept coming up and telling us how funny it was and how their kids would be telling the joke for weeks.
After the party, we went Christmas shopping. ~WOW~ We went to Toys-R-Us and fought our way through the crowd for a few hours! I don't even know what to say about that experience.
That night Quin and I went to an ugly sweater party. We stopped on our way home from the toy store at the Goodwill and picked out some doozys! An ugly sweater party is a party where everyone comes in the ugliest sweater they can find. One of Quin's co-workers used it for the theme of her birthday party. We had so much fun! Quin took first place with his beauty!
Quin wore this beautiful bright angora and wool blend sweater. We are still finding brightly colored fuzz everywhere! Quin wanted me to get the sweater I am wearing because he was sure his sister had one just like it!
Our gangGoing left to right is Daniel Burk (aka Go Fast), Shelton Stevens, Mel Stevens, Jeseka Snider (the birthday girl), me, Quin, and Rob Garcia!

Quin also won a giant bottle of beer, but he left it at the party.

Well how rude! And no, mine didn't have pink flowers. It was beige, salmon, and cream. :) Quin's sweater was SOMETHING.
Eww. That sweater's got my vote for ugly, too. What a fun party. I am in Portland, OR these days. We have four kids...they just all look the same so no wonder you thought there were two! A six yr old girl ,4 yr old boy, 3 yr old girl and 2 1'2 month old girl.
Elena: No offence meant, besides, how do you know it was you we were talking about ;-). You actually inspired me from a pic you put on your blog a few months ago (probably the same beige sweater) to do total eighties hair with my sweater, you just can't tell because it had fallen by the time the pics were taken.
