CB Birthday Ball

Last night David and I attended the 69th CB Birthday Ball. The ball was held at Hotel del Coronado. I have been stressing about what I would wear. I found a dress online from the Motherhood store. I really liked they way it looked online but then I went and saw it in person and decided that I really didn't like it. I have a black dress that I bought for last years ball but it really isn't modest so I thought I would find a cute jacket to go with it. But decided that I really didn't want to spend any money. I tried on my prom dress from high school and even five months pregnant it fit. Just a little tight around my belly. I decided to wear it. David was required to wear his dress blues to the ball. The ball started with cocktail hour starting at 6pm. David and I opted to wait and time it so that we would get there as they were seating for dinner. The babysitter got to our house at 6:30. This time we tried a new babysitter, another girl from our ward. Anyways David and I got to the Hotel del Coronado just as they were starting the program. We were seated at table 55 with some of David's co-workers. For dinner we had salad that had way yummy walnuts in it, rolls, chicken with mashed potatoes and a few vegetables. For dessert we had a layered chocolate cake. The food was not anything to brag about. For the price they charge the food was sure not worth it. Anyways during dessert they had a guest speaker. After the speaker they gave a way some awards and everyone watched as one guy re-enlisted. After that David and I decided that we were ready to go home. We had a good time. It was especially nice to get all dressed up and spend time with David. When we got home I was very disappointed in the babysitter. We gave her specific instructions and they were not followed, I guess we won't be using her again. It's so hard to find someone dependable to watch Christy. Anyways we had a great time. We didn't pay for the pictures they were taking at the ball. We just took our own.
