White Elephants!

Last Friday night we had our small group friends over for a Christmas party. Every year we have a white elephant gift exchange. We usually bring 2 gifts per family...one white elephant and one nice gift. This year the kids decided to join in on the gift exchange...it was total chaos to say the least. Not helping matters was the fact that I messed up the numbers that people picked to see when it was their turn...we had 2 7's, 2 8's, etc. What can I say, my mind was on other things!

Anyways, I let Jacob take my turn. His first gift was Christmas theme coasters, teacup towels and a soap dispenses. He wasn't too excited about that so I stole his gift and let him have my turn again. The picture shows you what he got the next turn....a girly license plate. His face shows his disgust. He (and the other kids) must think we are all crazy exchanging gifts like this. We are thinking that next year we will let the kids have a real gift exchange, something they would like to receive and we will have our own.
