Christmas Dinner Dance

Last Thursday, Brent and I were invited to attend the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Christmas Dinner and Dance at Ceruti's. I wasn't sure what to expect. The place was beautiful. We had such a good time and thank Bill and Mary Lou Arnold for inviting us. Bill owns L~A Electric, where Brent has been employed for the last seven years. We had a wonderful dinner and the band played some really good music.


This is Bill and Mary Lou Arnold dancing. Brent and I did dance a few dances too. So fun!

This is the newest addition to my snowman Christmas collection. When Mary Lou and I sat down, she said, "Check the backs of the programs for something different. We checked everyone's and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Well, imagine my surprise when they announced the winners at each table of the centerpiece for that table. If the last line on the program was in black, you were a winner. MINE WAS BLACK!

A woman (they announced her name and I can't remember it) made all the centerpieces for this dinner. There were quite a few and they were all beautiful.

Also, when we checked in at the door, we were each given two drink tickets. When we ordered our drinks, we kept the little top half with numbers on it. Throughout the evening, they called out numbers. If you had that number, you went up front to a table FULL of wrapped presents. One of MY numbers was called first!!! I went up and, not wanting to be really greedy, chose one of the bigger presents, but not the biggest. I can't say what it was, because I already have one and I'm regifting to one of our kids for Christamas, but.....HOW COOL WAS THAT?

I won a centerpiece that I love and a door prize! The dinner and desert was delicious too.

Thanks Bill and L~A Electric...................we had a lot of fun1
