PEER Group Christmas Party 2007

Last Saturday night was my company's annual Christmas party at the Walper Terrace in Kitchener. The party was done as a cocktail party for the second year, and again I can say I like this format. No need to be isolated at individual tables--doing so is entirely at your own discretion.

Before the party a group of us met at Caroline's house for a little pre-party of our own. This gave the ladies a chance to consume a bunch of Tequila Rose and other various beverages of choice (thanks Caroline). With this rare occasion that we were all looking in fine form we captured some group photos--it is surprising with all the photographers in the group that we didn't really have any shots of us as a group.





After taking an extensive number of shots at Caroline's it is sad to report that I didn't pull the camera back out until near the end of the evening at the Walper. Perhaps Richard or Andy will post some photos to fill in the gap. I've posted a few of the decent shots into a set over on my Flickr account.

Nicolaas the Puppy

So, as most of you know, Joy has been asking for a puppy since the beginning of time. Well her dreams have finally come true. The last 3 days we have been at the Cambridge Humane Society look at the puppies. This morning we came home with Nicolaas, Nico as we call him, or by his old name "Roy".

As you imagine the cats are not terribly impressed. Nico didn't try to chase them or anything, they just thought it best to hide. And since we first got home they've been hiding out under our bed. Hopefully it won't be long before they got over the fact Nico is here to stay.

I have posted a few pictures on my Flickr account. I have included the following picture as a teaser...
