This past Friday, we had a little cs2 ladies lunch and dirty Santa gift swap. I think I've told you before, but all of the young girls at my office go to lunch together each and every Friday, without fail. Somehow, we were coined Mean Girls Lunch (I think by a guy that was jealous and wanted to come).
So, it stuck. Mean Girls. We're not mean. We're nice and we all get along fabulously!
Anyway, back to last Friday. We all went to McEwan's on Monroe in downtown Memphis. A local favorite! Here are the pics:
A nice pile of gifts
Claire, Jordyn and Kristen.
Wait, what's that on Claire's shoulder?
Oh, it's Lisa the puppet. Lisa got stuck in a client meeting and couldn't make it.
So, Michelle (the creative genius she is) made a little puppet so that Lisa could participate.
Kate was very excited about the gifts!
So, the game began while we were eating, so the pictures are kind-of spotty, but I got most of it!
Gift 1 - kitchen goodies!
Gift 2- from me. A lovely ornament and pretty smell-good candle.
It was quickly stolen by Kate after Jordyn opened it.
And Kate got to keep it. She was glad.
Kristen with Starbucks goodies. Very appropriate for the coffee-lover!
And Jordyn scored a nice bottle of champagne. Cheers!
"Lisa" got a necklace and gloves.
And Michelle got a cute scarf.
Amy ended up with a very neat wall butterfly display
Lauren kept the kitchen goodies she originally opened. She's a newlywed so these were appropriate :)
And I LOVED what I ended up with. An eco-friendly bag of Old Navy goodies. A fleece blanket, 2009 stocking and very cute water bottle.
Back at the office, the real Lisa liked her gift very much!
We had such a fun time. And, the stealing in the game was quite peaceful, surprisingly.
I love my work friends!
