KOINONIA PARTY
Another day, another party. Ahh, this is the life!
Koinonia had our second annual Koinonia post-Christmas, pre-New Year's bash at my house. The evening was complete with TONS of food (come on, you know how my mom is!), a time of worship, and of coure, the white elephant gift exchange.
I have to admit that it was great to see so many people at my house to celebrate the holidays. Here are the highlights of the evening:
1. Mike, Jason, and I getting a chance to talk, albeit briefly, about life, love, and other mysteries
2. Lauren spending almost the entire night getting a piggy-back ride from Eunice.
3. Watching the U2 DVD and seeing me, Jason, Raphael bobbing our heads together.
4. Reuel, in response to seeing that lotion was one of the white elephants gift, "Oh really?" with great interest. "Can I have some?"
5. A great game of the updated version of Taboo.
6. Having 48 of the best cream puffs you have ever tasted.
7. A cameo appearance by Andi Roselund.
8. Julie giving out our much-anticipated Brothers' Appreciation basketball pictures, compete with Ikea wood frames.
9. And of coure, the white elephant gift exchange!!! This year's far and away winner was a box full of strange knick knacks including a frosty mug, a steel thermos, coasters, and mugs. Dennis, our favorite person to participate in events like this, caused an uproar stealing it multiple times and also had Luong and Bonnie steal it, too. And in the end, he was victorious, getting his much-desired frosty mug. The runner up for best gift was an antique ship tht rocks back and forth as if appearing to be sailing over the waves. Sharon walked away happily with it and said it would be a great addition to her home. All in all, everyone walked away with a gift they were pretty happy with ...
Or so I thought until I began cleaning up the mess only to find multiple white-elephants gifts left under the table, on the piano, between the couch cushions, etc. This just goes to show that sometimes, one man's trash is STILL another man's trash!
