The party was downtown in Indy. It was at an awesome hotel. http://www.crowneplaza.com/h/d/cp/1/en/hotel/INDDT?&gclid=CLuw0bfKspcCFRyenAod1BdKjg&dp=true They have train car "rooms" that you can rent. We didn't stay the night, but my parents stayed there last year and watched Claire on site for us. They are so awesome. That way I could just slip out to nurse her a few times without worrying about her not taking a bottle. Here we are in the hotel lobby. These pictures suck because they are with my camera phone.
Here are some people we played Black Jack with, which we played forever. I <3 Blackjack. The theme this year was Casino night. It's a rocking theme because you can learn to play all the games for free! Plus, it's fun.
Our dealer was awesome. She was totally letting us all win since it wasn't for real money. We started with "$2,000" in chips. By the end of the night we were able to cash in our chips for about 20 raffle tickets which cost "$1,000" each. Too bad it wasn't for real cash! We also played some roulette. They also had Caribbean Stud Tables, poker, and craps. We didn't get around to any of those this time. We didn't want to leave our favorite dealer! :) Josh actually won one of the raffle prizes, which was a $50 Kroger gift card. Yay! We can definitely use that on some stuff! I took a picture of my big old pile of gold chips. The gold ones were worth $500. Oh, and the other fun thing about the Holiday parties: FREE DRINKS! :) Notice my empty glass ;)
The food was also incredibly awesome. They had a buffet with several stations of food including Jumbo shrimp the size of a small child. They had a mashed potato bar, a pasta bar, a stir-fry bar, and traditional meats (turkey, roast beef, pork loin stuffed with spinach and lobster, or ham, all carved just for you). They also had salads, fruits, cheeses...and desserts to die for...included mini-cheesecake bites, various big cakes, and my personal favorites...strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. Yes, we shall find time to attend this yearly event! Plus Josh got his Christmas bonus check at the party. Yay! It was a great night, and Claire had a ball with my parents! :)
