Office Christmas Party - South African Style

A little slow on this, but things have been a little hectic around here. Last Wednesday afternoon our office closed early and we all packed up to head to Paradise Valley - a local nature reserve. Our office is made up of people with at a variety of life stages - grandmas to new moms and those of us without kids. So, our Christmas event is a little different - a braai was organized at Paradise Valley. It was a great afternoon - beautiful weather, great food and only one little not so pleasant incident, which involved a sighting of my enemy species. I was proud of myself and did not have a full on flip out. I calmly asked Dave (Willene's husband) to confirm my sighting and then everybody else joined me in a little freak out. I was a little on edge for the remainder of the time there, but still enjoyed myself. So, here are a few of the people I work with and their families.... Celeste (an attorney at our office) and her daughter. Thandeka (all you can see are her legs here) and her precious son. The kids that Willene and Catherine brought (GP and Dave). And yes, we played Twister at our party. I feel like GP is cheating picking up the mat in this one. I actually won this round (I may have run Catherine off the end of the mat). Asha and Kathy enjoying the sun. That's about it. It will be quite strange to be going back to snow later this week. But very much looking forward to seeing my family and friends. Merry Christmas!
