Adobe at Christmas Time

This December marked one year of Brian working at Adobe. He's loved it. Adobe has some pretty cool things happening all the time, and December was no exception. In addition to food drives and toy drives, they also encouraged employees to donate to charities, matching those donations as well. They hired a photographer and brought in Santa and Mrs. Claus so families could take pictures without having to wait in long lines or pay lots of money. I'm not normally into stuff like that, but it was a fun excuse to go visit Brian at work, and I loved that we didn't have to wait in line. 

 Rachel wasn't too impressed with the jolly couple, and gave them a pretty wide berth, even when they gave her a candy cane at the end.

On December 4, Adobe had their annual Christmas party. The theme was "Night at the Museum" and the party was held at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake. The booked the entire museum for us and provide free valet parking. They encouraged everyone to dress up as a famous person from history, but they mentioned that they would be giving out gift cards to costumes that stood out. So, Brian decided to go as Fred Flintstone. I wore my Jane Austen dress again, and laughed about how much my belly had grown since I wore it on Halloween. There was definitely no hiding the fact that I was pregnant this time!

 We ended up getting there just in time for the big raffle--we didn't win anything. And we're pretty sure that they had already handed out the gift cards for cool costumes before we arrived. And as the night wore on, it turned into a Single's type crowd with big club-feeling atmosphere. We had fun seeing the exhibits in the Museum and headed home.

 We missed the smaller Christmas party from Adaptive, but it was still fun to have a night out at a museum. Thanks, Adobe, for being so good to us.
