Christmas 2011

Christmas Party 2011

This time the party started at noon.

First some random party pictures:





Gift Giving:
As in the previous years, everyone was asked to bring a gift of cost $15 or less (we'll see soon that there were many smart shoppers in the crowd) Each gift was assigned a number, and a drawing decided who would get to unwrap which box But, not necessarily could the unwrapping person take that gift home - because an unwrapper with a lower number would be able to force a gift-switch with a higher numbered unwarpper. As the happy faces below show -- nobody took advantage of that option.

Jaewoo gets an amazing handpainted bicycle from Bangladesh -- Nafees, the giver, watches proudly.

Akiko's mon, with my new baby girl Nico in arm, gets a hand cream -- and is delighted. More happy people below....











Finally, I win something to keep my idle brain busy -- a set of miniature board games.

Afterwards we played a bit with our new toys


But wait... there was more

It was my wife Akiko's birthday!!!
She prepared a lot of the delicious food we had.

Happy New Year everyone!
