White Elephant Party

This year, the annual "Bomb Squad" White Elephant Christmas Party was at Andrew & Jessica Drage's house. It was great to see everyone, especially Dustin (my cousin and Erik's friend) who was in town from Colorado for the holidays.

We had a very interesting gift exchange that included gigantic underwear and yes, a TARANTULA! Thankfully, it wasn't Erik or I that picked up the gift bag and got a scary surprise. I was also very happy to see that one of the gifts we brought went through three people. It was a picture of Mary that lit up and looked like it was from Tijuana. Everyone seemed to think it was pretty cool.

While I was "people-watching", I realized that last year no one had any children. This year, there were five babies. Lives change so quickly.
