Susan's Update

I received a special email this morning from Susan asking oh so nicely for an update on the blog... so here is a very long overdue one for you :)

At the beginning of December work organized a "wellness event" and we all headed down to Heritage Park for the Twelve Days of Christmas. We met up at the hotel for brunch where we had sausages, pancakes, and waffles galore and then since we were all WAY to full we wandered around the park looking at the sites.

Carolyn really wanted to take a sleigh ride with the horses but the line up was way too long and there were way too many kids so we made do with walking over to the barn area and petting the horses that were down there. I swear they give those horses steroids cause they were alot bigger than most horses I have seen but Carolyn says that I am wrong and they are just that big from pulling the sleighs all the time...

I really liked the train set up they had in one of the buildings. You can't really see it here but the have it set up so a few trains are going around at the same time and they are actually all going around and around a little miniture heritage park!

Last Friday we had our Christmas parties at work. At lunch we had a staff party and then in the evening we did it all over again with the volunteers. It was a Christmas party but for some reason we had a "Hawaii" theme going this year with pinapples everywhere.

We all got lei's to wear during lunch so even if you didnt wear your hawaiian gear we all looked the part. It must have looked odd to the outside world however since everytime we went outside we got comments from people about being "lei'd".

This is Nav and me partying away. We did start out with more accessories but since we were partying all day and night we both lost out lei's eventually.

Bonny and Serena showed up at some time with their reindeer ears and finally brought some Christmas to the party. It was a good time and a reminder that Christmas really is right around the corner... still havent gone shopping so I guess I need to get out there and get prepared!
