It has been tradition for the last 5 Christmas's, that we do the White Elephant game. Not only is it a whole bunch of fun, but it cuts down on the amount of gifts any one person may feel has to buy for everyone. This year some of us got really creative and bought some great gifts. Matt my baby brother tends to always get the "Gag Gift" which he is always "butthurt" about! Grandpa always starts with a great gift and it is quickly stolen from him several times. For example, he got a neck massager again (he got one last year and he LOVES it) so he was way excited to get another one, but my mom stole that from him. Then he got a Tony's pizza and a DVD, and Uncle Leroy took that from him, so he was bummed yet again. Finally he ended up with a couple of CDs that he hid out of sight from everyone in hopes they would forget about them, he was successful at that!!
Here are some pics of our White Elephant game...Enjoy!
...I stole this throw from Markie, it is a FANTASTIC throw I LOVE it!
...Grandma ended up with this jumbo remote that they actually programmed and use now! She also go a DVD, I can't remember what it was though, I know it was a good movie!... 
...JC first stole an Ice Tea maker that had lottery tickets all over it, then Danielle stole it from him, so then he got this Scene It game with the DVD, then someone stole that from him, so he stole the Ice Tea maker back and got to keep it. He couldn't have cared less about the Ice Tea maker he was after the Lotto tix, which he won a whopping $4.00 from!...
...And here is Matt with his gift, he he he! Uncle Leroy told him he could pack his lunch in the plether cosmetic carrying case=P It was so funny he was begging people to steal from him! At least he smells good right!...
...Mike with his "soft on my skin" plush blanket! He was very protective of that!... 
...This was a great White Elephant Gift! Very thoughtful, a pizza and a movie!...
...I am a huge fan of Hoops & YoYo! I found this at Coach House Gifts and got the biggest kick out of it! I wish you could have heard what it said. I also picked up a travel mug that had a Hoops & YoYo recording on it...Very funny:)...
...Next year there will be a rule that you can't pick your own gift! Aunt Audrey walked away with her own towels...
...Brody doesn't play the White Elephant game with us yet mostly because he wouldn't be into any of the gifts, nor would he understand how toplay yet, so everybody still buys him gifts which is very nice and generous to think about him. He got this amazing Color Wonder which is the coolest thing ever I will be buying these in bulk! He also got lots of trucks and cars to play with and a remote control car which he also LOVES!...
...We didn't have all of our family in town for Christmas. My Uncle Walter and his family live in Arkansas, and they sent us all this FABULOUS care package that was filled with all kinds of goodies! It was so GOOOOD! Thank You Arkansas Rods we indulged and LOVED every moment of it!!
