The USMC 236th Birthday Ball was on November 5th! Matt and I dropped the babies off at my parents' for the weekend and we drove down to Macon where Matt works. It was definitely a nice getaway for me, but Matt still had to work most of the time we were there. Luckily, I have some family that live there, so I was able to spend most of the time Matt was working with my cousin who I rarely get to see :)
The ball was at the aviation museum right outside Robbins AFB. It was a lot different then the two I had been to before, which were at nice hotels in Atlanta.
The room was really cool, though. We had a lot of fun and I was able to meet some wives and girlfriends of guys Matt works with. The food was horrible, which was expected, so we left after and went out with some couples to Buffalo's. I am still mad I didn't stay for the cake, but completely forgot lol!

THEN my baby girl turned ONE on November 10th! AKA the Marine Corps Birthday!
I met a friend and her daughter at the mall and we rode the train!. When Daddy got home that night we had pizza and cake, then opened presents! The next day, Veteran's Day, we went to Jump for Joey! We got in free, too! Both Ethan and Elly had a blast! I just can't believe how fast this year went by!
