Everybody loves a baby. . .

Tess Rowe came ready to party.  Have you shopped for me yet?  You have! Oh goody!!   Did you hide my present in here?
Tess Rowe escorted Mom Kristie and brightened the scene.

  Mary Beth gets the joke!   As does Vicky . . .   Sharon and Annette get it, too !  Jim has always gotten it.
Sharon knows where the good party is. Sharon J seems to agree.  Chris "Kringle" raises an amused brow.  David gives positive feedback.  While Mary Beth radiates pleasure.
 Annette remembers a really fine secret.  Liz and Don: two familiar profiles return.  Jeff recalls other spiral toys.  Don and Gary
We smiled a lot . . .

Chris digs in. Mary Ann, Beth, Holly, Lynn in foreground Sharon savors while Mary Beth surveys the offerings.  Holly enjoys sharing food and news.
Stephanie gives the serious food review to gourmet cook Joe.  Gary, Jim, Don, Larry: 4 merry gentlemen. Rich prefers caffeine to punch.
 Alpana samples refreshments.  Jennifer, Jimmy, and Carol approve of the food.  Who made this tasty soup?
and of course we ate and drank.

Beth and Gary converse. Gary , Larry and Liz exchange greetings. Larry, Henry and Norm, Alpana and Mary Beth in forground. How big was that, Larry?
Heidi explains it all.  Cindy, Jimmy, Mary Ann, Cecile, A.J. Maggie declares a moratorium on wearing red hereafter.
We shared pleasant conversation with friends and colleagues from school terms past and present. . .

Cecile Cary caught in the flash . . .  Cathy values a break in routine.  Stevie is lost in thought.  Mary Ann thinks of resolutions . . . to break or keep.  Gary finds the present company enjoyable.
Annette weighs in on fall quarter's changes.  Chris strikes a pensive profile.  Is it the punch or something they said? Only Heidi knows! Jeannette reacts to Holly's comments.
paused to reflect and remember the year quickly fading . . .

Stephanie seems certain she chose well.  Larry isn't sure about these rituals. Whatever it holds, Joe complements the nice green bag.  Maggie: It's what I've always wanted!
Jimmy's new toy -- it's a 1955 Ford Thunderbird! bird's eye view Jimmy pops the hood to show off his prize.
and those who wished to, exchanged gifts. Most admired item: a classic Ford -- no youngster could have been more pleased than Mr. Jimmy with his mint-green, vinyl-hardtop '55 T-bird. Nice sidewalls!

Leanne gets in the frame though she tried hard not to! Lynn and Jennifer -- phones don't stop for parties.
Though they mostly shied away from the camera, Leanne, Lynn, and Jennifer, our year-round indispensible crew, were behind this party. Thank you! And Happy Holidays to all!
