Baby its cold outside

I was invited by my boyfriend to attend their Christmas Party today and here's what I wore: (the dress code was smart casual) 

baby pink sweater- Plethora , Gray pleated skirt- Plethora , Brogues- Achive Clothing

They had a simple program for all the participating soldiers and dependents that started with a mass for thanksgiving. Then there were a lot of parlor games and a magic show for all the kids.

It was a simple Christmas party for the soldiers and their families; it was really nice that my boyfriend invited me to attend :) It felt like that trials that I'm going through, with not having enough time spent with "him" , the families around me were feeling the same too.

Soldiers as we all know get assigned in different areas, others for long periods of time, so even with just a simple party with friends and family is greatly appreciated because we're given some time to be with the people that we loved.

I also was happy to see his friends that I've met before, I felt so welcomed :)

Then after lunch it started to rain; and by 3pm my boyfriend was given an order to prepare the goods that were just dropped off for the relief in CDO. The party was cut short for some of us, and instead of going home, I stuck around and helped them segregate some of the clothes for packing. (I just caught a glimpse of my boyfriend's typical busy day at work)

Clothes were segregated if their for males, females or for children

It was hard to enjoy the Holidays when in the back of our mind, we're thinking of the tragedy that typhoon "Sendong" has left. So if you have some clothes, blankets, medicines, water and food to spare; please help us share them to the victims of the typhoon and let them feel that the spirit of Christmas still exists.
