New Year Eve Thanksgiving

Well... I know its kind of late for a new year eve thanksgiving blog... but I definitely have a good reason for that. I was working hard everyday from morning to night! :D Busy but definitely happy! With a new year, I decided I'm going to start the year right, so I'm not going to slacken again, but I'm gonna work harder. "How I enter the year determines how I leave it!"

JAMs cell group have a combined thanksgiving pot luck dinner at Lily's house. We were all to dressed up as different cultures. Being lazy to think of other costumes, I conveniently took a Punjabi suit that I already have in my wardrobe. It was fun to come together in this manner, something very different, especially when we are always in the "working" mood when we come together to work during ministry.





There were some awards given, & James & me received the "Ritz-Calton" award for hosting the cell group at our house! We were even given a trophy! Wow!




To our surprise, we even had a grand lucky draw dip!
Top prize: Cruise to Nowhere for 2

2nd prize: Hyatt High Tea for 2

3rd prize: Coffee Maker
Forgot to take her picture, but May was given a plastic cup, a stirrer & a packet of coffee.
4th prize: Standing Fan

5th prize: $20 Starbucks voucher


Actually although there weren't any real prizes, I was very impressed by the idea behind it! It was so creative & nice just to create some atmosphere & fun :D So actually only Eena won the real thing with the $20 Starbucks voucher.

A Robinson voucher from Melvin, & a gigantic pretty paper carrier with my Xmas gift exchange from Lily.

My Xmas gift to Rick for gift exchange.
