We had a very relaxing Christmas season this year. Luckily we got our shopping done early and were able to focus on traveling and spending time with loved ones. On Christmas Eve, Greg and I traveled to Milwaukie for a White Elephant gift exchange.

The theme for their gift exchange is "killed, caught, cooked, baked, homemade, or re-gifted." One of our gifts was a Jersey Shore gift pack with a bobble head of "The Situation," a Jersey Shore towel, and tshirt. Neither of us are fans of the show, but they were in Corvallis and left gift bags at Greg's work. For our second gift I made some cards using my Cricut machine and scrapbooking stuff. I was really happy with how they turned out.
Afterwards, we went to a second White Elephant gift exchange at my sister's in law's (we didn't bring anything, we were more just spectators). However, my brother in law Kyle got some awesome gifts at the gift exchange!

We spent Christmas day my parents' house. It was nice to have everyone there and have no agenda other than being together all day.

There is so much more I could write and pictures that I could post, but I won't get ahead of myself and wait to do a more focused blog tomorrow or the next day. Excited to post about Greg's new KINECT for the Xbox some other gifts. Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
Sounds like a great Christmas! We did a white elephant gift exchange with our family, too. Jeremy ended up with a mini crystal vase. As you can imagine he was a little disappointed with his gift.
