catching fireflies staff party

After a very long day of wrapping hundreds of gifts, the majority of our staff from the Berkley & Rochester locations gathered at our home for some libations, food and fun.  (that would be our slightly dramatic Berkley manager, Danielle laying on the couch)

We played our annual steal or surprise gift game where some of the hot items of the night were Piston tickets, $100 c.f. gift card and a day of hooky with pay.

Later on, Sara and Steve played a few games of pool in Steve’s brand spankin’ new man cave (as I affectionately call it).  The hip guys over at Oakland Home Service did an amazing job transforming our 1950’s basement – just in time for our first party!

Meanwhile, Courtney keep Santa Samson entertained throughout the evening by giving him lots of hugs & kisses.

All in all, it was a delightful night and very nice break before the last week of merry madness.
