Christmas Party

Friday night Chris and I went to our SS classes Christmas Party. The girls were at church having their party so we had a few hours without the kids. Our class gathered together at one of our friends house and we had some good food and then we exchanged gifts. The gift are White Elaphant gifts, which if you haven't heard of this, white elaphant gifts are gifts you bring from your home. Anything you want to get rid of or just don't want around the house you wrap it up and bring. Most of the gifts are not items anyone would really want but everynow and then someone brings something worth having. Everyone draws a number and when it's your turn you can either steal a gift from someone who has already picked or you pick your own. Now every year their has been one gift that always comes back and this is the fertility root. Someone years ago started this by wrapping up a fertility root and a book about sexual techniques. Any those have picked the root in the past have always ended up pregnant shortly thereafter. When it was my turn to pick I picked this gift that was the fertility root. Of course everyone was just giving Chris and I a hard time and we said that it would be practically impossible for us to get pregnant now. I guess we will see how potentant this thing really is. Since I picked this gift I just knew that I would not have anyone steal my gift, but to my suprise there was someone there who wanted the fertitlity root. I guess they wanted a little help in expanding their family. I gladly let her have as I did not want this thing in my house. Since my gift was taken I got to chose again so I ended up with a bag of older christmas decorations, needless to say these will end up at the flea market to sell. Chris ended up with a beautiful blue sparkely purse that had a $10.00 Lonestar gift card in. Chris gave the purse to Katie and she loved it. She has been carry it around all weekend.
Below is the link to a montage I created of photos from the party.
