christmas is in the air...

I told chris not to, but the other day he fed one..... ...and now look!!!

last night was my work's christmas party. this year it was held at soaring eagle casino in mt. pleasant. while we didn't win anything on the casino floor this year, we did manage to get there without acquiring a speeding ticket.

we did have a special guest...

and one of our owners didn't approve of our special guest's performance while playing "left right center"...

...a new game we will be MORE than happy to teach you that requires NO skill whatsoever...here's marcy's mom, marcy and christopher playing

and the pile of money i won :) (the winner at each table met for a final confrontation ... which i did not win)

though we couldn't stay overnight because i was singing at church the next morning, we enjoyed the party (not the getting lost on the way home, though). i succeeded in making one of the owners feel realllly old when i told him about all the funny small-world connections i have with the company (and ultimately how young i really am), won some money, lost some money, had some great conversations and laughed a lot. and discovered from christy, baker extraordinaire, that there are such things as edible paper and edible ink.
