We had a fabulous Christmas Party with our team last week. We all went to a wonderful restaurant, The Smokehouse Grill. I had beef (a perfectly cooked tenderloin steak) for the first time in over 7 weeks. Not that I eat a lot of beef, but you just don't see that much of it here (cows are considered "holy" animals here). We were all given fun little gifts - most were wind up toys that we proceeded to send all around the table. Another fun item was a rolled up streamer that we used to whack each other with - amazing how these things entertained a group of adults for hours! I was the best shot - of course! We also passed around a glowing ball and a "russian hat." Sadly, I broke the "whoopee cushion."

All our toys - a fly, ladybug, car, girl in bumper car, and crab were the wind-up toys. There was also the "glows when you bounce it" ball, whoopee cushion and "pop-up" doll.
