12.21.07_Christmas Party!

The Christmas party last night was awesome! We had a "Dirty Santa" gift exchange, played musical chairs, ate snacks, and played a couple games involving cotton balls, duct tape, and spoons.

Here we are sitting around, waiting to begin "Dirty Santa"

me trying to savor the moment where I had the Starbucks giftcard, cute mug, and minty chocolates. [James ended up with that one while I ended up with a fruitcake mix...huh...]

Ryan opening his gift. [Some salt and pepper shakers in the shape of cowboy boots--needless to say, I don't think he was ever able to get anyone to steal it from him.]
