AXA Awards Banquet

Chris and I
Ready to head out...

Last night was Chris' AXA awards banquet. The banquet was hosted at the Omni in Las Colinas. I had an early morning tennis match yesterday (we won!!), then headed over to meet the boys. Chris and I made arrangements for Winston to enjoy a night at the Grand Pet Resort and Spa. We didn't want to have to worry about him all night...So off we went. We dropped Winston off at around 2:30 and headed on to the Omni. Once Chris and I were all dolled up we headed out.



Look how handsome he is...


At dinner

The banquet started around 6:30ish with drinks, then dinner to follow. It was so wonderful to see all the AXA guys together and dressed up. The Omni set up a nice little banquet room with wonderful food. Following dinner awards were given out. Chris won an award, as well has his good friend Dylan..it was a winning night all around. After all awards were given out Casino Night began.


Playing some craps

Chris and Ryan

waiting on our number...did we win???

We had such an amazing time playing all the games. Chris loved the craps. I played a little of it all....I had to keep some money back so we could try and win a door prize. Once the tables closed everyone turned in there chips for tickets to place in the door prize of your choice. Well needless to say we didn't get many tickets....I stood behind girl who had over 50+ tickets, then the man asked for my chips...and gave me my 1 ticket. As he had just handed over half the ticket roll to the girl prior he wished me the best with my ONE ticket. After eyeing all the prizes Chris and I went for the one we wanted (you know the one the girl with 50+ tickets didn't go for....our odds wouldn't have been good). There was a lovely prize we wanted though. Once all tickets were placed in the bags they began calling winners. We were sitting with some of the guys who work for Chris. Chad was the first to win....then Richard won, then it was our prize. You know the one we put our ONE ticket in. Good news for us, WE WON!!!! Like I stated before, a winning night for all! Chris and I had a wonderful evening together and even won a little something! Below are many pics, including our GRAND PRIZE!!!
Chris with our wonderful PRIZE! Yes a cooler...we really needed one.


All the winners....a gps, a tie and cuff links, and a cooler. We were pretty lucky!

I love our prize....
