company holiday party #1

Filed Under goings on | 2 Comments

Over the weekend we went to R’s company holiday party. It was at one of our fave restaurants, which meant great food and super-duper margaritas! There was a white elephant gift exchange, in which R got his cool gifts stolen about 4 times and then we ended up with a small version of the game Boggle. We already have Boggle and this was a disappointment since we took a very cool gift. I mean seriously, we took a Trader Joe’s gift card and some Peppermint Joe’s. That’s cool. (And on his 3rd trip up to choose a gift, I told R to just take our gift, which he did, but then it got stolen. Boo) But, it’s all in fun and we did, in fact, have fun with it.

There was also karaoke and at the beginning of the night, when he first spied it, R said, “Ugh, I hate karaoke.” Toward the end of the evening, guess where he was?

He wailed FOUR SONGS!

He’s fooling himself that he “hates karaoke”. I am now of the belief that he unwittingly LOVES karaoke, although if you ask him he will maintain that he hates it. But come on, look at that photo…

All in all we had a great time.
My company holiday party is this Friday ~ which I believe will also be fun!

holiday family portrait: FAIL

We tried to take a silly family photo for the holidays. We found a Santa pet costume and decided to make Marceau the cat wear one in our portrait. As expected, he resisted. We tried very hard to make it work several times, but this is what we ended up with…

We’re going to try again after Marceau has had some time to forget the trauma of it all…
