Christmas Party

Friday night was Matt's Christmas party for the USS Nebraska. I hired our babysitter, Carly and her sister, Amanda, to watch John Paul, Ethan, Sydney, and Saul at Matt and Andi's house. They live on base so I thought it would be easier to leave Ethan, and we would be about 5 minutes away, if things didn't go very well. He did great! I need to not be so high strung about some things!

Here are a couple pictures of Matt and me. Which picture do you like better? I couldn't decide, so you get to see both. I like how Andi is giving us bunny ears in the first one (REAL grown up!! Haa!)


Andi and I were pretty much the best dancers there, expect for this one lady in red--she wasn't necessarily better, just danced to more songs. By herself.
However, Matt (my husband) won a prize in a dance competition--doing the Chicken Dance. Yes, no typo. He did this creative variation of the Chicken Dance and won an IPod Touch. (Mom, it is a REALLY COOL MP3 player that can connect to the internet, show movies, store pictures and music, and a lot of other things.)

Here are some of the crazy kids that Matt works with.
Jason--We had to take 8 pictures of Jason. He was very cooperative! And I kept suggesting to move the red napkin, but no one was really listening to me. Humph!
Matt (Andi's husband) wore his "formal baseball cap" with his shirt and tie and actually pulled it off!
Here is Erik and Kristina. Erik really shouldn't lean over when taking pictures.
And Luke...need I say more?
Andi and I both were cheerleaders in high school. No, not really, but look at the way she is clapping. She definitely could have been a cheerleader.

That is too funny. Your entries are way more fun to read than mine. BTW I was a pom....we hung out with the cheerleaders a lot. They must have rubbed off on me!

I like the color better in the second picture but you look ravishing in both photos!!! I'm glad you had fun sans babies!

I forgot to say I love that you have to explain to your mom what ipod touch is but she might know MP3. I kind of though ipod has become like band aid and kleenex. Also I told Kyle and his eyes about popped out of his head and he declared your hubby to be a bad a**!

Julie, you and Andi need "dickies" with those low cut dresses. (I know what an Ipod is!! I just don't know what they look like.) MOM

How fun! You look great Julie. I haven't read the other comments, but I vote for picture number 1:)Okay, and I am seriously impressed with Matt winning the dance off! I still have never met this man of yours- but I am sure I would love him if he has those kinda skills!
What a fun night out for you two!
