CHRISTMAS 2013

 Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.

CHRISTMAS EVE

 We spent Christmas Eve with Kara and Eli.  I love watching Ana and Ean get excited tracking Santa on NORAD's site.  Here Robin, Ana, Kara and I are playing a game.  Kara and I happened to buy the same head band.  I guess we have great taste.

 Charles brought some fresh tuna which my mother totally enjoyed.

CHRISTMAS AT MY BOSS'S HOUSE

 Charles and I went to Chris' house for his annual Christmas party.  Here's the flower arrangement I sent to their house. 

.

 They built this addition to their home which sits on 1.5 acres.  This building has his theater and office.

ENGINEERING CHRISTMAS PARTY

 It seems that every department is celebrating Christmas this year.  I joined in on the Engineering Department's feast of Chinese food and of course, Miss Piggy.  We ate poor Miss Piggy.

CHRISTMAS TREE CONTEST

These were some of the entries in the department tree decorating contest.  The trees were left in the lobby for guests to cast their votes.  First place went to my department which was a candy theme.

Second place went to Human Resources.

Third place went to Accounting, created by our very own Darlene.

ASSOCIATE CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

 This year's Christmas party was a luncheon with prime rib, roast pig, turkey and all the fixings.  I had to bus tables for the associates.  It was hard work but fun.  We even had a snow machine but the photo area was the most popular.

 We were missing three agents, but here are the other 12 members of my team.

ZUMBA CHRISTMAS 2013

 My last class for the year was fun with the regulars.  We danced, ate, exchanged gifts and sat around talking.  I enjoy these ladies so much because they bring such positive energy.  I can't wait until 2014 for so more fun fitness.

 Darlene gave everyone cute head bands,  And she wowed us with her desserts.

MORE TAKKO

 While Kara and I were making cookies, Charles and Eli were busy looking for Takko in the shallows.  Charles ended up catching three small ones and just in time for the New Year's dinner.

DESSERT SWAP 2013

 We had our annual dessert swap in the office.  I made coffee jello and put them in these cute espresso cups. Everyone worked hard and made delicious desserts.

COOKIE DECORATING

 We had our annual cookie decorating party.  We had more sprinkles and I was prepared with my tweezers.

MAKING AN ELECTRIC GUITAR

 Charles has been making an electric guitar.  He just got these parts in and now it's looking like a guitar.  

he cut the wood himself.  Now he needs to get strap nuts and strings,  Maybe Santa will get him an amp.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

CHANNEL SURFING

 Charles loves channel surfing but it drives me nuts.  I like putting on one channel and doing other things during the commercials.  It's a good thing we have more than one television.

THE NEW CAR.....FOR MY SON

 After weeks of searching and test driving and negotiating, Nicholas finally got the car he wanted.  The Hyundai Elantra is a beautiful car.  Happy Graduation and Merry Christmas to Nicholas.  Love, Santa.

LITA'S BIRTHDAY

 Sherry, Sandy, Lynn and I celebrated Lita's birthday at Gyotaku.  Happy Birthday, Lita.  Wishing you all the best this coming year.

JUST PLAYING

 Charles didn't know I was behind him when this picture was taken.
