ROUND ONE: THEN THE ADULTS WENT A WEE BIT CRAZY

Once the kiddos had finished unwrapping all their gifts, it was our turn. Several years back we decided to switch to a white-elephant-style gift exchange, where everyone gets a number and has the option to choose one from under the tree, or steal one from someone else. Since we never actually mandated whether they were to be gag gifts or something useful, one just never knows what one might get!

Pick a number -- any number!

My hubby got a funny game about bananas, which came in the little yellow pouch you see dangling from his hands in the photo above.  Now, do you see what my son-in-law Nate is doing with his phone in that photo? That boy is dangerous! Next day he had turned that little video into a rather disturbing "gif" that appeared on facebook, for all the world to see! Guess he forgot who fills his stocking with all the best stuff each year!



Can't wait to play this game, all about your crazy relatives!
Wow! A pizza snuggie!

Hmmm, looks like Sant's elf is sleeping on the job!
Best surprise of all (although I wasn't so sure about that when my niece and nephew told me I had to tromp down the hill in the dark to see it ) was discovering that they had secretly adorned  "Our Lady of the Grotto" with a twinkling santa hat and a solar spotlight to make her more visible at night!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my crazy family?

Now it's time to gear up for Round II!
