I have been at my job for a little over a year now and I think that I am finally beginning to find my grove with the people. This year I co-lead the HR Holiday decorations. It was a lot of fun to build in some team building activities for our HR group.
I created this holiday card that we passed out to everyone in DC - about 600 people.
I am working on my digital designing skills - but I think the card turned out pretty good.
One of the group activities I organized was to have the team decorate their stockings with puff paints. In theory this was a wonderful idea...until I realized that I have no talent. Well I take that back, I do have one talent. I can write nicely. But decorating and being creative is not something I have a single ounce of knowledge in. My first stocking turned out disastrous! So, after our lunch time stocking decorating group event, I went back to my office, closed the door and did another stocking. Later that day, Scott found my first stocking in the trash and so he stole my new stocking and placed my old stocking where my new stocking was....when I came back into my office I panicked because I thought I had ruined another stocking! But then I figured out what he did. So not funny. So I keep up the charade and pretended like this was my real stocking...
All the while this was actually the stocking I would display when we decorated our main area. Still not super creative...but whatever, it is decorated.
We had a home theme... The entry into HR.
The walls had real baby photos of us as children. It was such a highlight. I loved hearing stories about the photo.
I also made the famous chocolate chip cookies from Karla and the lemon cookies that everyone loves.
More baby photos along our staircase...
And not to brag, but I love my baby photo. I loved this dress that my grandma made me and I still have the dress.
The stockings that each individual person did and our lovely tree.
Along with stocking decorating, baby photo sharing we all decorated our doors - however we wanted to.
Laura has been my main friend my entire time at work, so thankful that I had someone this last year.
Robby jumped on poor Santa's lab...it was funny though!
And for the main event! We had Santa, Mrs.Clause and Ollie the Reindeer! Staff could come and take photos with them and it was a great hit!
Isn't our fireplace amazing! And the stockings of the team that helped create all of this were hung by the fire.
The HR team.. all in their PJ's!
Goofy photo :)
Us all listening to T'was a Night before Chemistry...
Ollie the Reindeer was the best reindeer!
My photo with Santa, Mrs. Clause and Ollie!
It was a wonderful holiday event!!!
