Being an employee of Phase II has a lot of perks - but one of my favorites is the Black Tie Blue Jeans event that the Master Builders Association put on every year. I love to go and meet the people who work in the same industry as my dad, they always have super yummy food (really, I love to go anywhere that has good food!), and there is an auction for fun stuff that is always fun to watch, even though I never buy anything because it's always way out of my league. Still, it's fun to watch other people spend their money!
This year was especially fun because my dad was being sworn in as the MBA President again (he was president last year too). He is only the second person to be president twice, and the only person in MBA history to be president twice in consecutive years. And then, to our surprise (mostly my dad's surprise) he was chosen as MBA's Builder of the Year! It was really fun to see his face as he realized that they were presenting him with the award! He so deserves it and we were really proud of him.
Overall it was a great evening. It was fun to dress up a bit, relax with the guys of Phase II and their wives, eat good food (see, there I go with the food again!) and spend some time with Bryan. Can't wait to go next year too!

Black Tie Blue Jeans 2011
We took Jacob with us that night. He was lots of fun and super tired by the end of the night. He's a true party animal!
Carissa and Adam got to join us - so glad they get to come! It gives me someone to talk to (Carissa) and someone to make fun of (Adam).
They have this awesome thing called a "Dessert Dash". There are lots of desserts on display, and the table as a group decides on what dessert they want to share. Then the table with the largest amount of donations gets to pick their dessert first, but the second place table gets to pick second, and so on, and you have to run to the table and get your dessert before the other tables. It's always fun - and Adam was our runner. Mint Chocolate Cake!!! Yum!
My mom won a raffle and got yummy cake pops. You can see Jacob likes them too!
Having a good time
Me, Bryan, and Jake

That looks like its so much fun! I loved that your Dad wore jeans!!!! That sounds like something Rog would do. Jake is getting sooo big and way cute! Doesn't he have a hold button anywhere? Then he wouldn't grow up so fast.
We had a great time at the Black Tie Blue Jeans dinner! I just hope we get invited every year :)
