Friday night was the Great American KC office Christmas party. Kim did a bunch of planning for the event and I was happy to hear that we were heading back to the New Theatre. I bought tickets to this dinner theatre a couple of years ago and we both really enjoyed the evening. This time was no different. The food was great, the play was funny and entertaining, and I think that most of Kim’s coworkers and guests would agree. Afterward we headed to George Brett’s to polish off the night. I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of this bar/restaurant, mainly for it’s location (one of the closest to our apartment) and the fact that it is rarely overly crowded. Their happy hours also have some pretty good deals!

Saturday we got haircuts, ran a couple of errands and then hung out with the kids for a little bit. We went to a community center and spent most of the time playing basketball. I am happy to announcement my first place finish in the around the world competition. I was trying to play nice but Kim kept trying to win everything. Later on we headed down to Christie’s apartment for another Christmas gathering. Other than the gag gift exchange, it was just another party with a bunch of our friends here in KC. It was nice to finally see everyone again. It seems like everyone was on conflicting schedules for the whole month of December.

Sunday got started a little later than we were hoping. We did some shopping in the early afternoon and then headed down to the Brooksider to watch some of the Bengals game. It was like a mini Steelers nation in there, so we left before half time. Actually I had to leave early due to the poor scheduling of my hockey league. The good news is that we are finally back to winning! With the start of this new session we have a website for the league at kchockey.com, which is complete with standing, stats and schedules. I got credit for a goal last night, but I don’t remember scoring. Oh well.
