this past saturday chris escorted me to the ball for the 236th USMC birthday. this was our 10th ball together and we had a great night out (thanks, amy, for the help with anabelle) celebrating with the red devils!
you never quite know what to expect with the dinner so we always go out for a yummy lunch (just in case). this year we went to five guys for a tasty burger. then anabelle and chris went down to the boardwalk in pacific beach while i got my hair and makeup done. everyone had a great time – other than one busted lip. chris says she recovered really quick though. ah, the life of a toddler.
*dinner was surprisingly tasty!
here we are, all dressed up and ready to go!
on our way
loved my fabulous hair and sassy makeup (thanks, christal!)
lucky me!
time to dance
a quick change to some cozy clothes for the drive home – the dd needs to be comfy, right?!
besides going out for lunch, we have two other USMC ball traditions. chris doesn’t see my dress until it’s time to go (a fun surprise) and he always takes my hair down for me once we get home. this year he guessed 35 bobby pins. once he was all done, i think he counted 52!
. . . and then the shock of my hair the next morning, ahh!
