Today was a very important day in the Christmas social calendar: The 9th Annual Christmas Fancy Dress Pub Crawl. I can't believe we've been doing this for 9 years, it really makes us realise how much older we're getting (and quite a few of us hit 30 next year!)
We had the Small Person's last day of dance for this year. She took her handmade cards and snowman fudge to give out. Mr Bogert, the Smaller Person and I went to our favourite haunt, The Almanack, and had breakfast. Yummmm!
Around 4pm Mr Bogert's mum came to babysit for us (out 2 nights in a row - get us!). We re-used our Wonderland costumes, but had more time to spend on the face paint this time.

We had the awards ceremony at The Oak (where most of the guys meet on a Thursday night) and the landlord put free food on for us - what a star! The awards are usually given for car related things the guys do throughout the year. This year it was extended to the boats (that all failed terribly!) and also a few other categories including Best Fancy dress costume, judged by the landlord (and a bunch of people sitting by the bar!). Mr Bogert won! Yay!

| Biggest celebrity. This is the amazing mama who has been on TV and in newspapers across the world for her amazing battle with tongue cancer after discovering she was pregnant with her first child. The treatment she was given was pinoeering and we're all pleased to say bother her and baby Jake have the all clear and are doing well. She really is a star! |

Heather and Andy also re-used their Wonderland costumes, so we made a great set! Lucy also managed to pop along and took some pics. Perhaps a few will find their way onto
her blog.

We left to get home for 10pm. 6 hours looking after our Small People is enough for most!
Mr Bogert and I sat and watched Desperado and stuffed our faces with pizza (which I'd put in the freezer ready for Christmas, but you can't fight the late night munchies!)
Only 8 sleeps 'til Christmas!
