Christmas at Walter Reed

This past week at work was the hospital Christmas party and on Friday another fellow nurse and I got to help celebrate Christmas with the staff in the GI clinic!

 (Christmas cake...)

 (and chocolate fountains!)

 (This Navy quintet was playing Christmas carols in the lobby of the hospital)

The next set of pictures is from the GI Clinic party...

 (The GI clinic turned these two bays into Santa's area, good job hiding everything with fake snow!)

 (They put a lot of work into decorating)

 (Loading up the tables with food)

 (They actually had a roast pig!  Many of the staff members are Filipino and roast pig is tradition in their culture)

 (Slicing up the pig...I did try it but it grossed me out)

 (Dessert table!)

 (The full spread)

(Table of goodies for the staff members children)

It was an awesome day celebrating with the GI clinic, they really know how to party!  Hopefully more parties are coming this week in the ER and PACU!
