Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve night was spent with the Shamo clan. There was plenty of food and plenty of people. We played our white elephant game(although it's not really white elephant)with I think 24 people. Poor Darrin, by the time his number was up, many of the gifts had already been stolen the maximum amount leaving him with limited options. Some of the popular gifts were: vortex cannon (slightly used by Darrin) remote control helicopter (that actually flies), and shocker game(that gives players an actual painful electric shock).

P.S. in case anyone was wondering, a vortex cannon is basically a canister with an elastic covering that when snapped shoots a solid blast of air that can be felt from a distance- My siblings and I used to play with them at the Eyring Science Center on BYU's campus when we were kids.

That looks like so much fun, except for the shock game. I can totally see your brothers all sitting around shocking themselves. I hope you had an awesome Christmas!

Your Christmas looked wonderful. Those all sounded like cool gifts. It is interesting to see what people take to those white elephant gift exchanges. I also love the picture with Lincoln and the orange. So cute!
