Happy New Year! We’re not decked out to celebrate the new year, but rather for the Marine Corps Ball in November at the Kurhaus in Scheveningen. Like last year, I spent the day helping process payments at the American Women’s Club Holiday Bazaar. Veronica was going to a birthday slumber party, so we arranged for a friend to look after Ashlynn so we could make a complete night of it. We checked into the Kurhaus, got ready, then met Terri and Chris downstairs for a drink at the bar. A lot more AWC couples attended this year, so Jimmy took some fun photos of the ladies. We enjoyed dancing to the swing band (I even managed to wear low heals without needing an ankle brace), but felt bad for the young Marines who would have preferred a hipper band. We were also shocked by the plastic cake! It is a tradition to have a giant cake and have the youngest Marine cut a piece for the oldest Marine, but apparently this year the whole ceremony was faked as the cake wasn’t real (presumably to cut costs).
