party

In December Justin and I had a white elephant gift exchange party ( I like to have one every year).
We planned it for December 18th. Several people said they were already out of town then which surprised me. I thought wow it must be nice to take THAT LONG of a vacation since most people want to be gone Christmas and New Years when they go....
We did have about eleven people show up though. I guess no one wanted to be the first person there so the first people started coming about an hour after the party started.
I made monkey bread which Justin LOVED!!!! I mean LOVED... :) and I made peanut butter fudge that one person there thought was soap... Elaine brought sausage dip that she put in tortilla chips, Kelly brought a nut mixture and devilled eggs with sausage in the mix DELICIOUS!!!
We had a great time doing the gift exchange here is what everyone got:

Katie: got a calendar that says "porn for women" It has men fully clothed doing household chores or just simply listening to women. she also got a cute notebook that says keep calm and have a cupcake. She remarked so much about how she liked it that I don't think anyone wanted to steal it from her.

Jason: got a re-usable bag from a funeral home. It said funeral home and crematory but at first I thought it said funeral home and creamery I thought wow where is that, that is an interesting combo for a business. He also got a clock. No one stole it from him Justin did kind of want the clock but changed his mind.

Amy: got a "fuzzie wuzzie" which is a fake snuggie, but it got stolen from her by her roommate Shelly. So she ended up with a Monopoly card game.

Phil: got tic tacs with a catapult but they got stolen from him by Kelly he ended up with a copy of "leading the charge" a book that Justin's dad wrote about Orrin Hatch If you would like a copy please let me know.

Shelly: stole the "fuzzie-wuzzie" from her roommate Amy, which got stolen from her by Justin so she then got some church books and two seasons of CSI and a season of 24 which got stolen from her by Carrie. She ended up with a candy bar and some antlers.

Patti: got The Office board game which was stolen by me, (of course) and ended up with a Davy Crockett lunch box that I had tried to sell to antique stores, and on ebay and on Craigs I hope she has better luck.

Justin: ended up with the "fuzzie wuzzie" and it could not be stolen anymore times. He has all ready used it a couple of times.

Elaine: got a scanner that might or might not work... Harry took it home with him to see if it does, we have not heard back from him.

Paul: got the seal shaped like a candle that he left there. Justin put it on the heater in his dining room and it almost melted but I saved it...and I saved myself from cleaning up melted seal.

Carrie: stole the church books and DVDs from Shelly.

Kelly:stole the tic-tac catapult from Phil

Harry: got a cool homemade pottery that is a stein or cup or mug. He also took the scanner home

Keli: I got a book called Breathe Right which Eric stole from me and I took The Office game.

Eric: got the book Breathe Right.

After the gift exchange some people stayed and we played Loaded Questions then Justin went to bed.
more people left and Kelly, Eric and I talked until 1Am or so...

It was a really good party :)
