The office party was a bowling party!
I love it that they had t-shirts made ” THIS IS HOW WE ROLL” 🙂
42 out of 121 since not everyone could make it
Back at home, Javier planned a party for the staff. I am so happy that he always thinks of it and takes charge. I helped bit this year and made sure it was a bit more organised. They usually have it in the garage to avoid bothering the neighbours 
I put some christmas decors and set up
Javier with the staff. He added the staff of his Lola this year so they were more than usual
Buffet set up 
Group shot with Javier 🙂 Next year we will plan earlier so we can have a better one 🙂

I put sunglasses for each of us – hoping to match their personality 😉
Provided the best Antimosquito cologne from France 🙂 
The kids were of course included 
Fondue for us! We can never get enough of fondue!!
