Secret Santas and Ugly Sweaters- Dec 16, 2008

Our annual alphabet club secret santa was just as fun this year. We had several priceless "goodwill" gifts including an interesting wooden light thing with ceramic cowboy teddy bears and a whole set of 80's casette tapes. For real gifts, smartwool socks were all the rage. As far as the ugly holiday sweaters, Thomas won the prize big time with his women's beaded holiday extravaganza vest.

Med Peds Holiday Party- Dec 14, 2008

Med Peds is all about the kids and the kids were in full effect this holiday party. The girls had an exclusive club (secretary and everything) while the toddlers were entertaining us all.

Peds Holiday Party- Dec 12, 2008

The peds holiday party is about good food, open bar, and great company. It seemed that black was back at this holiday party as we all showed up in a wave of dark, with a sprinkling of red. Afterwards, we headed to Blackfin for a little more dancing.

Christmas Cookie Exchange- Dec 10, 2008

There is a lot of cookie making talent among the med-peds women, and I got to gorge on everything from buckeyes to rolo cookies at the annual cookie exchange.

Home Sweet Holidays- Dec 5, 3008

There's no fun in having a house if you don't decorate it for Christmas. Unfortunately, we don't have an exterior outlet-- so we couldn't make our house the flashiest North Pole transplant in Hyde Park-- but we did put up some indoor lights, stockings and a little tree to keep it festive.

Spa Day- Nov 2, 2008

Cathy, our leader in relaxation, scheduled for us to have a relaxing spa day to ease our stress and detox. Perfect timing for Kim and I after our night out. Cathy, Tara, Marian, Kim, and I all luxuriated in mud body wraps.

Halloween- Little league all-stars- Nov 1, 2008

This Halloween, Kim and I decided to go back in time as little league all-stars. She sported the baseball theme and I the more thugged-out basketball style. After the peds party we headed out to downtown Cincinnati, grateful that there were some others in holiday apparel the day after Halloween.
