Shindig at Melissa's

If it seems like we're partying a lot this holiday season, then you're correct. The onslaught of festivities has actually been a nice distraction for Heath in the mist of his paper writing finals push—we have to get him showered and out of the house somehow. :-) Joke!

Anyway, our friend Melissa hosted a party at her place that stood out for two reasons: 1) It was our first white elephant exchange of the year.

(Hauna won this lovely keyboard!)

And 2) We spent an inordinate amount of time playing Twister. With "Home Alone" and Amy Winehouse serving as our background noise, both Heath and I found ourselves bending in very strange ways and me, in particular, wishing I'd paid more attention in Pilates. TK and Andrew, however, excelled at the "sport."
