In the evening, the team came over for a little party at our house.

Snacks! Mom brought some snow to decorate- definitely the only snow we'll see this year!

The party included lots of eating, a very fun gift exchange, Christmas carols, and a hilarious drawing game of "If You Know What I Mean." (and coining the new name of the game). And festive hats of course.
