Christmas with the Hills


Christmas parties are always the greatest. We spent last weekend with my side of the family. We had a true
blue white elephant gift exchange and I'll have to say that it was one of the funnest Christmas gift exchanges I have ever done. I don't know if I have laughed as hard as I did for a long time. There were some great gifts and we learned some great things as well. My parents had a full house (my favorite way to have it). It started off with a fantastic turkey dinner. We then let the kids open their gifts (while Erin, my sister, serenaded us with Christmas music) and then sent them downstairs while the adults did our white elephant gift exchange. We then finished off the night with hot cocoa and mint ice cream, the perfect ending for a perfect party. I ended up with a snowflake kit full of a table cloth, dish towels, soap dispenser, table runner and more, which I was quite pleased with (just goes to show that someones junk is someone elses treasure). Tim ended up with a box of 22 shells (he couldn't be happier). We were lucky to come out of it with great gifts. It was so wonderful to have my whole family there and we look forward to seeing more family in the next few days! Holidays Rock!
