Awww, man!

I totally forgot about the fact that we had a Christmas party to attend last night. It's Nick's dad's company party. Each year, it's held at the historic Alabama Theater. Gorgeous place if you've never been there. Anyway, they have delicious catered food, a sing along with the old organ, and screenings of Christmas movies. This year was "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "The Christmas Story". I love going. I hope it's something that the kids can remember in the future as one of our fun family traditions.

What I did NOT like about the event was my personal lack of restraint. Amid the spread of healthier options (fruits, raw veggies, cheese) were the mouth watering goodies...chicken fingers with homemade spicy BBQ sauce, fried bacon mozzarella cheese crackers, petit fours, homemade brownie bites, cookies, paninis of smoked sausage, meatballs, roast beef, and turkey...MMMMMM! I did okay, I guess. I had some chicken fingers, half a panini, too many of the bacon cracker things, and dessert (of course). Well, now that I list it out it doesn't seem like I did too good at all. At least it was on the first day. I don't have to weigh in for 5 more days. Maybe I can burn it off by next Monday!!!! :)

I am AWFUL at parties where you pretty much get to stand and "graize" over all the food. Petit fours are SO yummy!
