Turns out coordinating presents for six adults is like herding caffeinated cats. Sarah brought homemade cookies that disappeared before I could get a proper photo. Alex somehow found the exact running socks I’ve been hunting for months. Jake’s face when he opened Michelle’s guitar pick collection was worth documenting forever.

The highlight was definitely Carmen and Michelle realizing they bought each other identical copies of the same memoir. Great minds, or just proof that our friend group has officially achieved hive mind status.

Now we’re all sprawled across the living room in various stages of sugar crash, debating whether it’s too early for leftover Chinese takeout. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
