Today John and I decided to head over to the base club for their annual Holiday FREE event. I say this because we literally decided to go 30 minutes before it started. I thought it would be super lame and even had dinner ready for when we got home, which we'll be eating tomorrow. They had h'ordeurves (more like a 5 course meal), bouncy castles for the kids and mommy, Santa, and local vendors to include free chair massages. You know I took advantage of that! They also had free Krispy Kreme donuts. We currently have a dozen and a half of those on the counter. John will be taking those to work or they'll all end up on my hips and thighs. JJ has found that these are his new "Love." He ate two while we were there and asked for one more on the way home. He didn't get that one.
Some of you reading this have been to club functions before. I am use to free meaning a handful of fried foods, which they never have enough of. Not the case here. They had two huge subs lining the tables with, lots of veggies and dip, meatballs, crab rangoons, crab legs, hot dogs, make your own nachos, chili, cheese and crackers(they even had my favorite--brie!), and fresh fruit. They had all this and the place was a ghost town. BUT, I am not complaining. We won a $50 gift card to Babies R Us and $30 to Kid to Kid.
We took the kids over to see Santa and JJ wasn't having any of that. Maddie even gave him a "who are you?" look.

Sounds like you found a winner Club! Our Club is pretty much the same as the Forks but they do have a kids night once a month where they have a bunch of games and music and art stuff and a D.J. who is really good with the kids. I haven't been to a member's mayhem thing yet Tom hasn't wanted to go cuz he is afraid it is gonna be just like the Forks but at least there would be a chance to win something. Oh and our dues went up $2!
hehe, still not a club member
sounds like fun though, but I'm still stuck at the forks. Sad day
JJ looks like he's thinking "man, these things are good. why haven't I had one before?"
You had me at "free Krispy Kremes". Seriously.
