Jenn and Sean's Christmas Party

Last night was simply amazing. Andy and I got a babysitter for Amelie so we could enjoy a night out sans kids. I love that we both realize the importance of getting out without Ame. We know that we need time away from her to recharge our batteries and actually miss her. Our relationship has to come first for our family unit to work. When kids are around there is that added worry about them at all times.

I bought a red dress for the party and wore some cute heels. It felt nice to dress up. I forget the last time I have even wore heels. Doing this made me feel special, confident, and just plain old happy. Andy looked nice as always. I mean he is metrosexual, what do you expect? It is also nice to leave the enormous small flat we are in day in and day out. When I am home I think of all the things I should be doing...It is refreshing being in someone else's home and have them do all the work.

Jenn and Sean hired 2 babysitters for the kiddos to hang out in the back rooms. For everyone in Switzerland we know this is a good chunk of change. So sweet for them to do this. The Christmas tree was up with both fragile decorations and hand made ones. The lighting was that kind of lighting that every woman dreams of. No flaws to see. No pimples. No bronzer lines. It just puts you in the mood to drink. And that we did. The prosecco was flowing, well at least it was in my cup. There were all my favorite Basel people in one place. Everyone was dressed to impress with what seemed to be no care in the world. It was magical, Christmas time usually is. I started getting very excited about going back to Indy for Christmas. Nothing better than family around for Christmas. That is what it is all about.

It was a night to remember. A night out with my love away from my 2nd love. :)
