r 2 nations in the Olympics! And what a great theme for our party this week-- we had over 30 attending, despite the fact that many were studying for final exams. (see me with Stefan & Conny, rt.).
We enjoyed eating, watching the winter games on TV & playing crazy games ourselves in 4 Olympic "events"-- including arranging 5 rings so they correctly formed the Olympics logo as well as our own version of the biathlon (thanks to the creative Conny, Jan & Caro). It involved walking as fast as you can with a ping-pong ball in a spoon, up & down my indoor flight of stairs, crossing the finish line, & then throwing the ball at a line of cups, trying to topple one (see Lukas with Peter). Our team came in 2nd place-- i was happy with our SILVER! To carry out the theme, some of us dressed up in scarves, sweaters, and/or ski pants. (photo: Conny, Maria, Matthias, Martha, Lydia, Mario)
Parties are for sure a HUGE part of our Connexxion group-- they are a great place to invite friends. And it's amazing how much you can connect in small ways while laughing about a game, or maybe in big ways, when even in the first 5 minutes of talking you can have a "wow-- i really got to know you" conversation.
Ayham had a birthday the next day (pictured here with Johanna)--in Germany, when it turns 12:01 a.m. of your special day, the gang can finally wish you "happy birthday"-- but never earlier. Needless to say we had a late night & loads of fun!
