My ship's Christmas party

Thursday night we went to my ship's Christmas party. At first I didn't feel like going because a winter storm had blown through earlier that morning and my usual 45 minute commute home turned into 4 1/2 hours!!! It was horrible, and I wasn't in the mood to go when I got home, but Quintin and the girls convinced me and we are glad we went. It was fun to get dressed up- Quintin looked handsome as usual!! They had onsite baby sitting at the hotel, so the girls were able to play upstairs, close by. The food was good, the dessert even better and we even won something. I had to compete in a scavenger hunt/musical chairs game up against the Captain, Executive Officer, Command Master Chief, Chief Engineer, Training Officer, and Electrical Divo and I beat them all to win a gift card! Some of the things I had to get from the audience were a dinner napkin, sugar packets, any denomination of money, a man's tie, and a woman's shoe (couldn't use my own). Quintin broke a world record taking off his tie to help me! It was really fun- CMC and I were the final two people and we had to run to the bathroom to get paper towels and come back and I beat him by a good 5 seconds! The heels had to come off for that one.

Quintin and I were glad they had a photographer there to take pictures- we haven't done photos like that since he was in the Navy! It was a wonderful evening!!
