We had a wonderful time at this years Marine Corps Ball. My mom was an angel and came at 3 pm to begin babysitting. Blain and I were able to get ready without having to worry about the girls. 6 pm to 7 pm was cocktail hour and we spent that time mingling with other Marines. At 7 pm the ceremony began. It was beautiful. There were a few speakers, the ceremonial cutting of the cake and the passing of the cake from the oldest Marine to the youngest. 
This is the table they had set up for those who are currently deployed and for all those who gave their lives serving in the Corps.
Following the ceremony, we had a delicious dinner. Blain had steak and I had chicken, both were served with salad, mashed potatoes, asparagus and bread. We had cake and then there was dancing! We stayed till about 10 pm and then headed home. It was a great night out...it is always fun to dress up and go out to a hall full of Marines! 
Me feeling so pretty!
Thank you again Mom for driving out to watch the girls (and Jayson) it truly meant alot to all of us! (And I hope you're having fun on your cruise!)
Happy 233rd Birthday Marines! And Happy Veterans' Day!!!
