The Best White Elephant Ever!


"Mom, can you tell the lady who gave you this thank you?!"

When Myles got it out and saw that it was brand new, he asked me if we should give it to my grandma for Christmas. I considered, but the girls seriously objected.

I thought it was especially fun to post on our blog since we all happened to be reading at the time.

We can't wait to try out the hand waxing station it came with, as well.

So, thanks, Shannon. Great choice!

Christmas Par-tay

The Christmas party was a hit again this year. Thanks so much Shauna for hosting!  We loved the "bow game" where we had to watch Shauna like a hawk to see where she put her bow (on her body) -- we had to follow her lead or we were out.  Kristie was the big winner & Shannon was the big looser.

First the food... and this isn't even all of it!





And now for the lovely ladies...

( I do have to apologize for the blurry photos - I blame Shauna and her near dark conditions) ha!


Kristie & Brenda


Christie & Kara


Bethany & Shannon


Robyn & Britney


Shauna & Heidi (wow is my head so much bigger than Shauna's)

And now for the white elephant exchange.

It was a blast!  One of the best for sure!




Brenda with her ear plugs, sleeping mask and some sort of foot spray(?)


Britney will be whipping up some new maternity clothes with her handy dandy Sew Quick hand-held sewing machine!!


Shannon got the coveted (by Kara) K-Mart watch


Here is Shauna with her soon to be stolen earrings.


Christie was just in love with her monkey socks -- can't you tell?


Not to be left out of the monkey mayhem Kristie got some hot pajamas.  So hot in fact that I took them home!



Ooohhh what is it?


One hot photo of Britney's husband!!

The secret was that under that picture was really this print...



If you would like to print one out for yourself just go here.

Now back to the white elephants...


Robyn received an onion, some garlic and...



Hannah Montana Crest -- who wouldn't want that I ask!?


And finally Shannon got to shakin' her gourd -- if you know what I mean.

Thanks everyone for such a fun night!  And thanks again to Shauna for hosting.  These little treats were our parting favor. They were filled with goodies. Now Don't forget to read The Idiot for next month or Shauna will expect her favor back.


See you next year!!
