Marine Corps Birthday Ball

This past weekend was another great event in the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps was founded on November 10, 1775 so in celebration Brent and I attended the annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball. This year it was held at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas on the evening of the 5th. Also, this year Brent's parents, Bill and Penny, were able to attend with us. We had a great time with the traditional ceremony, an untraditional video from the unit's time in Iraq this year, wonderful dinner and dancing. This was our final Marine Corps Ball as Brent will complete his contract with the military before next November!

You see my sister Jenavieve (and her fiancé Robb), they were kind enough to drive down and watch Elise for us while we were at the Ball. Elise just loves 'Auntie Jena'.
