The annual White Elephant Xmas Party is a highlight of the holiday season for the family here in Southern California, held the Sunday before Christmas. Instead of dinner, everyone brought desserts. A small birthday recognition was included for Kevin Guthrie (age 19), Katie Muldune (5) and Jim Cassaro (54). As usual, the most awful gifts were the most coveted. The evening ended with Randy joining us live via a laptop webcam and the Guthrie/Cassaro brothers foozeball play-offs.

Sounds like you had a fun time, especially from what I overheard on webcam. Those gifts are horrible, but I think you scored with the stink bags and the matches. Kevin's tapes actually might come in handy if he wants to send tapes from his mission and has an old enough tape recorder. Thanks for sharing!
This is my first pic seeing Grandma without her glasses- yeah for her! What is Aaron holding anyway?
Aaron is holding some sort of apple baking pan.
Wish we could have been there in person. Maybe next year we should do the white-elephant gift exchange online, kind of like a silent auction. We could all take a picture of our presents, then start the "opening" a week or two before Christmas and do it all via e-mail.

Looks like we missed out!
