New Year's Pie Party

The Christmas Pie/White Elephant party took place tonight. As is usual we ate pizzas from Papa Murphy's and Papa John's, a great tasting and varied salad from Mark and Peggy, and dessert from Andy and Tula. The beer was supplied by Gino and Barb. We had fifteen for dinner.

The white elephant gift giving went well and much laughing and appreciation of the sometimes odd gifts was apparent. One of the hit gifts was a noisy pink piggy bank who made noises when money was inserted into the slot on its back. I think Barb took the pig home with her, since she had the last number and drew her gift last. There were some suspicions of skullduggery, but mostly in jest. I think that she plans to take the pig to work and perhaps get unsuspecting co-workers to insert some coins in exchange for the pig's appreciative noisemaking.


We learned that Katie and Ryan are now engaged and will be married in October. They seemed happy and very much looking forward to wedding plans. Congratulations to the couple.

We had fun and ate well. If that isn't nice, what is?

I know all those people! No name tags required. 15 is a good sized group. I hope you had enough plates.

Plates were no problem. We went with the paper variety.
