We save our holiday party until after the 25th so we all have a chance to catch our breath from the Christmas rush.\u00a0 The gals had so much fun at our Minute-to-Win-it party last year<\/a>, we decided to give it another whirl… only this time with a Christmas spin.<\/p>\n

\"christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Since we’re opening our third catching fireflies in Ann Arbor this spring<\/a>, we made stop to Zingerman’s<\/a> (0ur new neighbor) for the snack spread.<\/p>\n

I think I’m addicted to the Casados olive oil<\/a> mixed with black truffle salt… and I’m not even a foodie:-)\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"holiday<\/p>\n

After our furry family members got lots of pets, we were ready to roll out the games!<\/p>\n

\"christmas<\/p>\n

#1 The Christmas Ball<\/a> – Fanning an ornament with a gift box into the end zone may look easy but that pesky hanger part can make it a bit tricky.<\/p>\n

#2 Merry Fishmas<\/a> – Gotta keep your chin up for this candy cane game… while impersonating Popeye & Mrs. Roboto ;-)<\/p>\n

\"minute<\/p>\n

#3 Christmas Cliffhanger<\/a> – It takes more than a powerful set of lungs to win at this game… mental telepathy doesn’t hurt either ;-)<\/p>\n

#4 Snowball Fight – Who can pop in the most ping pong balls?<\/p>\n

\"xmas<\/p>\n

#5\u00a0 Christmas Ball Conveyer<\/a> – This dizzying game will have your head spinning quick.<\/p>\n

#6 Balance Christmas Balls<\/a> – Grab a roll of wrapping paper & a yard stick to test your mad balancing skills<\/p>\n

#7\u00a0 Face the Christmas Cookie<\/a> – This one was too fun so we had to bring it back this year and Katie, our new Ann Arbor manager pulled it off!<\/p>\n

\"minute<\/p>\n

#8 Fastest Gift Wrapper in the West – After a full month of non-stop gift wrapping our team was ready to tackle this one and to no surprise Danielle took the win coming in a 1:24\u00a0 (we know it’s over a minute, but come on… can you wrap a gift that fast?)<\/p>\n

In all the competition frenzy, I forgot to take a photo of our crew… but none-the-less we had a grand time ending the year with some silly fun!\u00a0 Steve & I are truly fortunate to have such a great team to work with.\u00a0 Cheers to a great 2013!<\/p>\n
