WHITE ELEPHANT EVENT RECAP

The annual White Elephant Gift Exchange was held this year at Bandana's BBQ in Ankeny. We all had a really yummy dinner...and the waiter was quite fun!

So the opening of the gifts began....some where, well, er, obvious why they were in the White Elephant Gift exchange, and others were less obvious. I guess it just goes to show you that one woman's garbage can truly be another woman's treasure!

Carol got a whole bunch of fun little things...even some hotel lotion....maybe she'll use that on her trip to Hawaii!!!!

Deb got a great package of spa items.

Denise ended up with some wine glasses with hearts!

Peg's was an interesting mash of things....I even heard her say her sister likes cow things so the salt and pepper shakers were going to find a new home right away!

Peg's box was alot about "love" and she just "loved it all".

Deb got a really bad bottle of Sangria and a teapot (wait, I'm sure I saw that last year too)...and the teapot was defintely getting regifted to her Mom!

Ginger received a fabulous container with everything you could think of for a nice relaxing bath!


Peggy went right for the big bag....

But great gifts do not ALWAYS come in big packages...this is a corn hat....Peggy shows what she thought of it! Too funny!

We also collected our gifts for our four gentlemen that we adopted for Christmas. Carol will be getting those gifts to the men and providing us pictures if they get some taken. Thanks to all for making a difference in the lives of these men.
