Valentine's Eve

On my way to the party

Doug and I at the big event

The Christensens hosted an amazing couples' Valentine's Party that doubled as a Beatles Rockband "Battle of the Bands". Just when I thought that I never get a chance to dress up like the sixties, this little invititation presented itself! After enjoying an amazing dinner from Alejo's, we got down to the business at hand. I won't go into what all three rounds of competition entailed, but it was pretty exciting!

When all was said and done, I ended up with a prize for best female costume. (I think the "Bumpits" pushed me over the edge.) By the end of the night, the Thomases and we took home the championship title. (Having Doug on our team may have helped a tiny bit.)

Of course, my favorite part was dressing up (even at 30+ weeks pregnant). It was such a great night! I am sorry I don't have more pictures to share, everyone looked awesome!
