Jenny's Baby Shower

Yesterday, I hosted a shower for my friend Jenny. We have known each other since junior high. She is due with her first baby (a boy!) on February 5th. The shower was at the Bonneville House. I think that it is a really pretty place. Congratulations Jenny! I am so excited for you.

I have had two 4 day weekends in a row and have really enjoyed the time off. On New Years Eve, James and I headed for Missouri for some casino fun. We went to dinner and then on to the new Downstream casino. There were so many people there that we couldn't even find a place to spend money. So, after walking around for half an hour or so, we decided to leave and try to find another casino. We ended up at a pretty small place, but we had a lot of fun playing three card poker and even won a little money. We stayed the night in Joplin and ate at Johnny Carino's (yummy) before heading home. I think we both enjoyed the short time away and spending time with each other.

Friday morning I took Aden to Chuck E Cheese for a playdate. He has been saying "go see chuck e" constantly lately. We received an invite today for a classmate's birthday party next Saturday. So, looks like we may be going again next weekend. =)

I'm so not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good week!
