Are you sad that winter is over? Do you miss Christmas? Are you humming Christmas carols alone in your room right now? Well say no more, because just in time for spring, AOI’s Christmas Music Party Video is here!
For those of you who weren’t at the Christmas party, this video may surprise you. But even if you were there, you may have forgotten just how much fun you had–enjoy again.
Yes–it really was that cool.
AOI’s Valentine’s Day Potluck was a big success. If you have any situation where you combine great food from around the world (mostly from Trader Joe’s), a handsome and clever host, and fun games with prizes, it’s going to be fun. BUT if you take all those things and add a little Romance, you’ve got a real party on your hands.
Here are some of the highlights:
Ron made sure the party didn’t stop—and he looked good doing it.
Kimkim and Mika sample some of the sweets and treats at the potluck.
“Psssst!” What would Valentine’s Day be without secrets? Lots of secrets…
Everyone had fun—it was really crowded!!
The Men relaxed and talked about manly things—not about girly things like Love…
The games were great fun. People had cookies on their face, were stepping on each other’s feet, sitting on each other, and everyone was laughing a lot.
What was your favorite part of the party? Tell us below!
