celebrating 2012 with our team

We save our holiday party until after the 25th so we all have a chance to catch our breath from the Christmas rush.  The gals had so much fun at our Minute-to-Win-it party last year, we decided to give it another whirl… only this time with a Christmas spin.

Since we’re opening our third catching fireflies in Ann Arbor this spring, we made stop to Zingerman’s (0ur new neighbor) for the snack spread.

I think I’m addicted to the Casados olive oil mixed with black truffle salt… and I’m not even a foodie:-)  

After our furry family members got lots of pets, we were ready to roll out the games!

#1 The Christmas Ball – Fanning an ornament with a gift box into the end zone may look easy but that pesky hanger part can make it a bit tricky.

#2 Merry Fishmas – Gotta keep your chin up for this candy cane game… while impersonating Popeye & Mrs. Roboto ;-)

#3 Christmas Cliffhanger – It takes more than a powerful set of lungs to win at this game… mental telepathy doesn’t hurt either ;-)

#4 Snowball Fight – Who can pop in the most ping pong balls?

#5  Christmas Ball Conveyer – This dizzying game will have your head spinning quick.

#6 Balance Christmas Balls – Grab a roll of wrapping paper & a yard stick to test your mad balancing skills

#7  Face the Christmas Cookie – This one was too fun so we had to bring it back this year and Katie, our new Ann Arbor manager pulled it off!

#8 Fastest Gift Wrapper in the West – After a full month of non-stop gift wrapping our team was ready to tackle this one and to no surprise Danielle took the win coming in a 1:24  (we know it’s over a minute, but come on… can you wrap a gift that fast?)

In all the competition frenzy, I forgot to take a photo of our crew… but none-the-less we had a grand time ending the year with some silly fun!  Steve & I are truly fortunate to have such a great team to work with.  Cheers to a great 2013!
