...you know what that means....
This year was truly a White Elephant jackpot.
As proof I offer you this little gem that Mason took home. Her name, Linda, was engraved on the underside of her hoof.(Or maybe it was scratched in with a toothpick, same difference.)
If you ask me Brandon has never looked better. You can see in his eyes that he's feeling the foam puppy visor. Where has it been all his life?
"The Vase" returned again this year. Nate and Mason had a fool proof plan for one of them to take it home, but when they weren't looking, Jon swooped in and snatched her up. Here you see him trying to show it off to Mike, but Mike is saying "Wha? Sorry dude I wasn't listening, I was busy reading about the mystical powers contained within my holy candle."
That's right, Mike took home both the giant papaya AND the blessed candle. Chrismas doesn't get much sweeter than that.
Jon was kind enough to let Mason have his picture taken with "The Vase".
For a dollar.
Look at Jaidyn. I'm pretty sure I heard her say this was the best Christmas Eve of her life.
Christmas Eve can't last forever. Before we knew it, it was
Christmas Morning!!
and Nate was looking all.....you know....Nately.
Christmas morning was a bonanza of interesting t-shirts.
I'm not sure if you can tell but that shirt has a bunch of CATS on it. It was one of the top 3 things Nate wanted for Christmas. Go Figure.
I have no idea what is going on with teenagers these days. It's madness.
Ivy made this shirt for Eli. Pretty cool, eh?
Wesley got this shirt.
I die everytime I see it. Is it not so hilarious?
Maybe it's just me. It often is.
Ivy's wildest dreams came true. She finally got an American Girl doll that looks just like her.....with a tan.
If there is a fashion winner on Christmas (and you know there always is) this year at our house it was Nate.
If the kitty cat shirt didn't do it, these socks put him over the top.
Seriously, have you ever seen anything call Nate's name louder than these socks?
