Work Holiday Party

My work is known for throwing great Holiday Parties and this year was no exception. They hosted the party at the Portland Art Museum in their Sunken Ballroom, which has a very Grecian feel to it. The Holiday Party is always fun because I really love the people I work with, food is good, drinks are flowing, and there's always great entertainment for the evening. This year, I also won big in the raffle! If you know me, I never win anything...I'm still holding on to my last big raffle win of 4 tickets behind home base for a Cardinals game...in 8th grade. Besides a gift card to Barnes and Noble, I won a prize where I get 5 Starbucks beverages delivered to my desk AND an extra day of paid time off! Maybe this is a sign that I should try my hand at the lottery?
Scott (far left) and Laura (2nd from the right) are my 2 closest friends at work...and their spouses are wonderful too. Laura and Suzette (Scott's wife) both had babies this year...hopefully I'm not next.
Obligatory formal picture - but hey, I got extra raffle tickets just for taking this pic :)
A great picture to give you an idea of how pretty the room was.
We had live entertainment for the evening...they played the music we all love dancing to...
Hence this picture...some of us really got down (note the 2 co-workers laying on the dance floor showing off some of their moves)
