USAA Christmas Parties

USAA goes all out for their Christmas Parties! The beginning of December they had the kids Christmas party at work. The Magik Theatre came and performed, “If you give a Moose a Muffin.” Santa was there, there were tons of carnival type games and candy, and many Texas and Holiday characters were walking around. The Magik Theatre did a great job and Kennedy loved the play! Carnival Games We still have yet to get a smile from Kennedy with Santa, she’s not afraid of him, but really shy and won’t smile

Kennedy loves HEB (the only grocery store here in Texas), and she excitedly screams “HEB” every time she sees the sign as we are driving.  So when she saw the H-E-Buddy at the party she ran right up to him!

   

This last weekend was the adult Christmas party downtown at the Alamo Dome, this year the  theme was “A Holiday in Hollywood.”

When we arrived downtown there was a red carpet and about 20 photographers snapping away as you entered the Alamo Dome! We felt pretty cool! :) Once inside people came up to you with h’orderves and then we met Whoopi Goldberg and Rod Stewart (ok, so it wasn’t really them, but they sure looked and sounded just like them!) There were also a lot of other Hollywood characters and look a likes wandering around and the whole place was decorated Hollywood style. It was a pretty big deal!

(this picture was taken with my phone, so it’s not very clear) We didn’t take our camera so we don’t have any other pictures, but they had a fancy buffet dinner and dessert bar to start off with which we got to enjoy with lots of our friends. Then they always have a band playing most of the night and this years entertainment was “Band from TV” and “Darius Rucker.” They were both quite good and it was fun listening to them.  There were also other side artists performing in different parts of the Alamo Dome that we went and explored. It was fun to get all dressed up and enjoy a night on the town,  and spending the evening with Zak and our friends!
