Office Christmas Party

Rick's first experience with Cricket (pictured with his coach, 12 year old Jeremy, grandson of a Croatian immigrant and quite the keen sportsman). He's still out there playing and it's been a week already. (Apparently cricket games last for days.)
Three grills were needed to feed 40 people at the Christmas party. Everyone gets together at the beach. Some stay in the guest beach house, but most bring tents and camp out in the back yard of the beach house. We played volleyball and cricket on the beach, swam, cooked- out, drank, and just had a great time. It really seems more like really good friends hanging out rather than co-workers.

When we came back to the house from being on the beach someone was playing Christmas music, which I thought was a prank for a split second until I realized that we were in fact having Christmas at the beach in 75 degree weather. Very strange.
