One of our favorite nights of the year and as always, it's a doozy.  Riley had band practice after school as she has had all week.  It goes until 6:30.  We needed to be at bowling by 6:30.  My mom needed a new outfit for a Christmas party.  I don't get off work until 4:09 (don't ask).  So, I left work on time, met my mom and dad at Kohl's and helped pick out a new sweater and a scarf.  Riley called while I was there to say she was out early so I sent her home with a friend.  I met her at home, picked her up and we headed to bowling.  Meanwhile, Rick was at a vendor party and met us at the bowling alley.
