A Pirate Christmas







I do realize this is not really being recorded in order... but you'll all just have to keep up some how. This past weekend I was in Lethbridge, spending some quality time with my family. It was my dear mother's birthday on Friday, and so the whole family (signifigant others included.. of course!!)got together for some dinner. I was tried and found guilty yet again of my single status... which my family so willing points out and jokes with me about. It's a good thing I love them so much or I would probably not take it so well. So, yes, that does mean if you're not family... keep you mouth shut please. I mean that in the nicest way.. really. Anyways, we did have a great time celebrating my mom, the amazing, amazing woman that she is.
Saturday night, more good times were had. Josh and Emily let me tag along to the E-free Christmas banquet. We got all dolled up and Josh came to pick us up. The theme for the night was pirates... and the church did an amazing job of setting everything up. They had the Rubber Chicken man (comedian/ magician) come and perform after the dinner. He sat with us at dinner and provided some great conversations there. I found out that he is also a photographer for Humanitarian stuff... talk about two totally different worlds. Anyways, all of us who had recently shared a dinner with him, felt some connection and found him hilarious. Judging by the reaction of the rest of the crowd, they didn't seem to find him so funny. The banquet ended with Josh and I taking on Nathan and Jon in a game of 2 on 2 basketball. I'll just say that I think I faired well enough wearing a dress and nylons.
