IOT Christmas Party

This year we had our Christmas party at the Casper's Cherokee Sirloin Room in Eagan. Because things get pretty busy around the holidays, we decided to have the party after Christmas which made the evening very nice & relaxed, and everyone had such a nice time. Lucky for all the guys, the Minnesota vs. Iowa men's basketball game was on too. Go Gophers!

It is a tradition that we have Christmas lasagna, so of course it was the main attraction! Add that to a slew of appetizers (and plenty of drink tickets) and you have a recipe for a great time. The part was held in the Sports Barn section of the restaurant, in the upper loft. It was a great atmosphere, and lots of fun.

We had great door prizes and later we all played our traditional holiday gift exchange game. As usual, it turned into quite a contest. Some entertaining gifts too. We had an "In Living Color" DVD that surfaced, yes that one...can't you just hear the theme song? In addition, there was the standard assortment of CD's, DVDs and last minute gift cards. But, hands down the best gift this year had to be the framed picture of Bob (our president), provided by his wife. I guess you had to be there...but it was pretty darn fun. But lucky for Tim (the winner) there was a gift card hidden in back. Two great prizes in one!

Until next year...
