Work Shower for Baby Grace

On Friday, my co-workers had a shower for me and another guy in our office (they are due a week or two before me).

It was more for Cary (my co-worker) and Roisin than me  (since it is their 1st and my 2nd). We had food catered in from Guero's, a local Mexican restaurant.

They got a lot of Target gift cards and a few smaller things and I was surprised and VERY EXCITED to get the double stroller we had on our registry and some gift cards (which Tom and I used up that night - haha).

I have the best co-workers!

We did get Grace's room about 90% complete, but I want to wait until it's done before posting pictures. I'm hoping to get it done by Valentine's weekend. :)

Lonestar Park

Every year, our boss either takes us to Training Camp for a weekend or to Lonestar Park. This year it was Lonestar Park. My Uncle Ricky came over to babysit Tommy so Tom and I could go.

We had 2 suites on the 5th level - so we had free food and alcohol all night. It was a lot of fun, but it rained the whole night.

Around the 5th race, the whole computer system went down so you couldn't make bets or collect your winnings (we didn't have any - haha). After waiting a while for the system to come up (and partially because Tom wasn't feeling well, we decided to just head out around 9:30.

Keri's Baby Shower

After work on Friday, Bobbi, Valerie and I hosted a shower for our friend (and former co-worker) Keri and her husband Phil. Keri's due date is at the end of May. This will be her second boy - her other son, Josh, turns 16 this year.

Since most of the guests work with us, we held the shower at this local (any yummy) restaurant in Coppell called Guero's. Around 15 people showed up for the shower and we had a lot of fun talking and watching Keri (who is still tiny) open all her gifts. We had cupcakes from Candy Haven in Denton and cute "It's A Boy" plates and napkins.

I can't wait to meet her little guy!

I tried one of each flavor

I love these plates & napkins!

Keri should be stocked up on everything.

2009 Cowboys Christmas Party

Last night, Grandpa babysat LT so Tom and I could go to my work Christmas party at the new stadium. You are probably wondering why it would be on a Monday night, well - it's because the players get Tuesdays off so we do it around their schedule.

The party was great! Tom and I arrived around 7:00 and grabbed a prime table close to the front, which ended up being a good choice because the players ended up hanging out in the section by our table the entire night. The food was as wonderful as always and they had quite a few bars for us to choose from. We had so much fun talking to everyone and hanging out (and of course drinking :)). We did end up leaving an hour later than we planned and didn't get home until midnight!

Another cool thing was that Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl was a guest of Miles Austin and was hanging out close to our table all night. I did manage to get a picture (not a good one) of him and I did get a picture with Stephen McGee (our backup quarterback) who is really nice.

Fun night!!!
