Good times were had by all at our white elephant Christmas party. After filling our bellies on the potluck dishes we started out with the "Left, Right" game. Steve read the story and every time he said "left" or "right" the gift had to be passed one time that way. In the end, whoever was holding the gift got to unwrap and keep it.

We then proceeded with another game where you take turns unwrapping the gift (which had been wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper and tape) in the middle of the circle, using only oven mitts and wearing the hideous reindeer headband. Every time someone rolled doubles on the dice, they then got a turn, and so on, and so forth. After that we had the kids start their white elephant. Afterwards the adults did theirs. Many a funny gift was unwrapped and stolen (believe it or not), like a coffee maker, etc....

Dianna Byron was first to roll doubles for the unwrap the gift with oven mitts game:

Jacob Byron took a go at it:

Here's Lindsay Holcomb trying...

Kaitlyn was voted most photogenic...

Sascha almost had it opened when Sarah rolled doubles right at the end and won!

Here's the Segebergs FABULOUS gifts...

Errol was proud of the coffee maker he scored, only to have it stolen by Steve, who then had it stolen by LaRee who wanted to make sure it stayed in the family...

Luckily, Errol ended up with something else that he liked and NEEDED:

Chris Byron ended up with sweet antenae's:
