The annual White Elephant Party at my dad's house was another hit! Blake and I had already been to a White Elephant Party in our ward and got a great idea for our gift. Someone had brought a live lobster for their gift and we knew we had to try this out at my dad's party. We wrapped our lobster in a large box, just because that's all we had and the large box happened to be the best decoy.
My step-cousin Dawson, who is 5, decided to join in the festivities this year. Well, our large box was still lying around when it got to his turn and what other gift would a 5 year old want??? Well when Dawson opened up the box, he laid it down and climbed right inside with the live lobster at the bottom. All of a sudden we hear him scream, "It's alive!!!." He came frantically back out and was so frightened by it. It couldn't have been any better.

Blake's gift from the party---these vases and they're up for grabs
Allie was so tired by the end of the party (that went right through her nap time) she just decided to grab my prize, which was a sausage link and curl up on the floor with it.
