2008 Christmas Party Come & Gone
Well, this year's Christmas party has come and gone and it was a great time. I'm glad everyone came and got merry. It was good, full of yummy food and Singstar karaoke goodness.
I bought a Honey Baked Ham for the first time, and man was it good. A new roasted potato recipe I decided on the night before was a hit, and there was plenty of pie & cookies for dessert. All in all, I'd say this is one of my most favorite holiday parties us friends have had. And since we took professional portraits this year (finally) it made me realize that we've been friends since 1993, and in the case of Rachel & I, friends since 1990. Fucking WOW.
So, here's some photos... (side note, Jennie has the BEST gift opening faces/reactions...)
Jennie's reaction to my gift of The Dark Knight Special Edition:
Jennie's reaction to Katie's gift of the book "Team of Rivals":
Katie trying to tear through Rachel's duct tape protected gift with her teeth:
Lorenza was happy with my choice of gift... after I punk'd her trying to pass off a Bath & Body Works gift card as her present (for those reading that don't get it, she works there...)
The consumate X-Phile, Katie enjoyed that I got her the special edition of the recent (lame) X-Files Movie:
Rachel liked the Ninja Turtles Artobiography:
I'm sure Veronica didn't expect a gift from me, so she was stoked for the sweater:
Rachel w/ one of the Jeff Dunham DVDs she got:
Veronica attacking her shortly after with the threat of ranch dip:
Jennie rockin' Time After Time on my Singstar karaoke game:
The tree with all the presents I have under there for our family plus the gifts my friends brought:
