Hospital Christmas Party 2011!

JJ, Rosie, Doris, Bryan and Trevr enjoying the party.

Apparently the hospital Christmas Party is a big deal. The tickets sold out very quickly. People were sending emails looking for extra tickets. And a lot of folks went out to get some fresh threads for the party. I haven't seen people get this excited about anything at the hospital, well except for maybe the awesome lunch we had in the OR after passing the past Joint Commission inspection! Rumors were floating around that some of the door prizes included Apple iPads, flat screen TV's, Sony Playstations, etc. I have to admit, I was really, really hoping that I would win something.

The Hospital Christmas Party was this past Friday. I'll let you take a guess where it was held. If you said, the Butler O'Club, you are correct. Do they have big parties anywhere else on this island?

After getting off work and mustering up the energy to get into our fancy clothes, Elyce and I made it to the party and no we were not tardy!

Perhaps this will be on Elyce and Reggie's Christmas card...

Here I am in the background pretty excited about winning an iPad

Luckily we made it there in time for the first gift giveaway of the evening, because we won a freaking Apple iPad!!! Yeah, I was pretty excited about this. Elyce and I had been talking about buying one for a few weeks. When the MC read off the winning ticket number I couldn't believe it. I was busy talking about, who knows what and Elyce stops me and says, they just called our ticket. Good thing she was paying attention while I was running my mouth!

I might have been the first to win a prize, but I wasn't the only one. Many people got gift cards, iPads, TV's, Play Stations, XBox's, and a bunch of other stuff. But it wasn't just the gift giving that made the night fun. There was plenty of laughing, dancing,  and just enjoying the time spent away from work with good people.

I can't wait til next year!

Zack and Doris!

Bryan's leaving us in a few weeks to head back to the states. We'll miss you B!
