"STOP! Your are now surrounded by the Holiday Spirit!"

Yesterday was a really cool day for us- Not only was it Ipanema's Karaoke Benefit, but Bakers' Crust in Carytown held a customer appreciation day in which they asked people to bring books for Books on Wheels and it was a lot of fun enjoying drinks and food and whatnot. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't stay for singing Karaoke, but Ward made it til 1:30 am. What a trooper! But we did go Caroling right before that, so I still got some singing done and here are a few photos of us in the Holiday Spirit. It was fun. Again, thanks to everyone for their awesome support and cheers to local businesses who support local organizations! Richmond is such an amazing city... Anyone have photos from Ipanema?
