Swamis XMAS party pictures

Jenny E. sent me these pictures. I was not at the party this year. My wife organizes her company party and this year it was on the same night. Here are the best pictures from my point of view. If you want to see them all click here.


Why is it that all the pictures of girls with guys has Matt B in the middle?

I here there was plenty of food this year and as usual it had variety and was great tasting.


For the third year Jim & Gerri Simmons shared thei r house for the get together. I could only find a picture of Jim.



It looks like the DET was there in force. I assume it was the great food and free beer that brought them out





It is great to see all the friendships that have been created by riding with Swamis


As usual Matt won the Fred of the Year Award... Maybe he should buy his own like Josh Z did....

I can see that I paid for not being at the XMAS Party getting the Sheriff Award. Thanks - I hang it proudly in my office..
