Last night we went over to our good friends house - Ben and Kim Burt - and had a Christmas White Elephant gift exchange. It was so much fun. Most of us, including spouses, have been friends for several years - back to the good old college days in Cheney. Us four couples do a lot together, and hopefully we will make this an annual tradition, because we all had a blast.

(The girls!! - Beth, Steph, Kim, and Jen)

Then after we all ate the yummy appetizers that everyone brought, the exchange began.

Ohhh - there was some pretty funny gifts. We will see if any of them make it back to next years party.

Brett got some Poop-pourri, which is some kind-of spray that you put in the toilet bowl to make your bowel movements smell better.

Beth and Wes ended up with some blocks that I made for the party. I just made them out of scrap wood, and they spell the word believe, but for some reason they were a hit, and happened to be traded quite a bit. However...Beth and Wes ended up with the letters in the end, and an Eddie Bauer Fanny Pack - Ha. Ha.

Ben happened to get some leopard handcuffs and a pregnancy test - How Funny!

Oh Yes... Joel and I made out with - drum roll please - a pooping snowman (which Joel loves) and a lava lamp.

The night was great. Joel and I are so grateful for great friends, and the opportunity to hang out with the ones close by on a regular basis. We are really so blessed.
