Sadly I forgot about the camera until the White Elephant, and then it ran out of battery! So then I used Patricia's for a while, and then hers ran out of room! So we had very limited camera usage sadly. Before the White Elephant we had eaten enormous amounts of chili, and caroled in an enormous group to everyone on our street :) Boy those people on our street didn't know what they were getting in to when we moved in! It was a blast.
The mound of treasures (or junk--if you feel like being honest).
The little gals.
Amy and her mother. Amy got knitting needles and yarn! Not a bad thing to get *cough* compared to everything else!
Mrs Lapinski opening something.
Corey chooses his weapon.
Anna Marie herself.
Lovely Amanda.
Corey got some sort of man's shaver kit--I think he liked it :)
Ellie and Amanda.
Adding Abbey!
Mrs Einerson takes a chance.
What do you know about that-an M&M Machine!
Mrs Vaughan taking her time.
What has she got...
An adorable farming puzzle
And a coloring book! What fun :)
Beth got Mary's sassy little gift of a regular sized cowboy hat along with a mini hat! Good one, Mary.
Shanna is opening...
A cereal box! Hmmm
But INSIDE the cereal box, was a lovely painted cross *weird packaging for a cross!*
Mr Lapinski takes stock of his options.
And decides to chance it (as you can see, there weren't a whole ton of GOOD gifts, so not much stealing until the end!).
What will be in the package!!
Mary doesn't mess around but rips right into it bare-handed.
My my--it's a brain hat! For the record, that was like the worse gift I've ever seen at a white elephant, and nobody would confess to bringing it! Rotten.
Our stairs always serve well at parties :)
Pat got a puzzle! She liked it a lot until someone stole it from her.
This poor fellow had the luck to open my gift--a lovely singing bass! I brought him back from last year and it was a riot (I love causing riots).
Abbey strokes her chin in contemplation.
Dad making a speech about how great his un-great item is (in hopes that someone will steal it).
Mercy got a cute little towel angel.
Elizabeth and Ali were on a "team" and so had the joy of picking out a gift together.
Ali liked it, I think (can't tell what it is though).
Another good laugh was when Mrs Cheney opened up Robert's, which included a nice little beanie baby frog!
Good times... Well you will be glad to know, after this blogging frenzy, that I am caught up and all ready for Christmas pictures! Stand by for those, but until then, keep on reading below as I did four posts today and this is the last one, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christ is born, glory to God in the highest and on earth goodwill towards men.
