Snow and Highland Holiday Party

Well I didn't think we'd make it to James's work party this year because at the end of last week, it snowed and all the roads were icy, making it scary to drive.  James worried me on Thursday and Friday by going to work downtown, but luckily he was okay.  He tried to travel when there would be few cars on the roads -- really early in the morning and later at night after traffic.  Meanwhile, we were cooped up in the house for a few days... but we bundled up and ventured out for a whole 2 minutes to touch the snow and ice!  It was so crazy because almost each limb and leaf were encased in ice.  Unfortunately, it wasn't the kind of snow that's fun to play in.  Maybe in a few weeks...

On Friday James decided to come home early from work to pick me up and bring me back downtown to the Perot Museum for the holiday party.  We brought another one of his friend's wives, who also didn't want to drive solo.  It took quite awhile to get down there, but we had a great time once we were there!  It was a Great Gatsby 20s theme party, so we put together some things that Mom brought up at Thanksgiving and some things of our own.  I wanted to go more all out, but the last minute storm threw me off.  Oh well.. some people didn't even dress up.  Highland hired some flapper dancers for the party, had several gambling tables open, and had really yummy food.  The best part, besides the mini creme brulees, was exploring the Perot Museum with hardly any people!  Great venue and great date night!
