~*~ Ly-family Gift Exchange ~*~

Ho Ho Ho.... It's 4 days to Christmas and I'm sure most people are rushing to complete their Christmas shopping... for me, I'm finally done with that :) Well, we had our Ly-family gift exchange at work on Friday while we had our Mac Lunch and I must say we had a jolly good time laffing our heads away... :) Here's why...







Oh yes!~ I have to add that Jessica is one creative but notti angel... she made bogus Dorothy Perkins vouchers for Elna... tsk tsk tsk... hehehe... short-lived happiness for Elna... hahha...



I was Esther's angel this year and she tot that I forgot she wanted her 2009 organiser... hahaha....




And Esther is Jessica's Angel... surprise surprise!!~ :) hahaha... Lucky u jessica!!~ Esther remembered to bring her present v earli this year... and she wrapped it n cut out yr name personally leh... lucky lucky... :)







We knew that Jas hated g-string and so Angie & Priya decided to give her a surprise before she receives her actual present from Priya... Jas looked rather surprised and shocked when she received her string but was overjoyed when she learnt that we were playing a prank on her. Hahaha... these were the higlights of our gift exchange... :)
