The Adult Gift Exchange

This was what you call a NICE white elephant gift exchange. We did this after all the kids were put to bed. I was the lucky one that night. Not only did I get draw #1, but I chose the best present of the night and it hadn't even been opened yet. Thanks Rebecca!

Here are some of the highlights.

Grandma got a very nice flower pot with bulbs in it. It was perfect for her and no one dared to steal it from her.

Her gift was wrapped in this red sweater to help keep it from breaking and was a nice addition to the present.

Rebecca opened the ever so wonderful bp gift package. You are such a good sport, girl.

Brooke, who is apparently not a pina colada fan, received a huge bottle of pina colada mix.

Steve is showing off the two gifts that we went away with. He got a box of SEE's candy and was a little excited. I got the cute "S" that Rebecca made and I love it.

Grandpa actually got a nice calendar, but here he is telling us about a "real" white elephant gift he had recieved years ago. It is quite the treasure and has had it's place in the Spendlove home ever since.

Just in case some of these things ever surface up again at another gift exchange:

Sarah got some nice photo coasters. They were very nice.

Greg got some "Cornjulio-skewers!" Everyone needs a set of those.

Shawn got balloon rockets, which was exactly what he need to entertain his boys. ;)

Kathy got a Target gift card, which she couldn't wait to go spend.

Stu got the movie Goonies, which was stolen the max amount of time.
