To make a short story even shorter, I'm just going to let you enjoy the pictures. Sound good?
This is the present I received in the White Elephant gift exchange. Inside it were a bunch of Mr. Potato Head parts, but no body. So now I get to play with random arms, legs, ears, eyes and what not from the lovely spud man. I also put the eyes on the outside, so it looks like the Geico money... but instead of money, it's a present.
Neal and Jared, who were acting as "one entity" in the gift exchange, received my present of a Horse Calendar and toothpicks. They decided to split it, with the winner being Jared because he got the toothpicks. Good choice.
Melanie received Jared and Neal's present... a Jock Strap and a Slim Jim. How awkward.
Other presents included a whisk, a Rubik's Pyramid, sunglasses and a lei, and a set of porcelain clowns.
We then made Graham Cracker houses, which was quite an experience. My baggie of frosting exploded on me and so I had to deal with frosting all over the place whilst decorating.
Melanie's "Graham Manger," if you couldn't tell.
My rainbow Skittle/Licorice house. It took me a while to build the actual house because it just kept falling apart.
Jenna's... uh, masterpiece. It started out as a simple refuge for gummy fish, bears, and worms against zombie candy. It escalated with impaled bears, soap, 248 of the 250 toothpicks Jared received, nuking it in the microwave, bizarre amounts of frosting heaped on, and more toothpicks. It was a success.
