White Elephant Gone Bad

We love our life group class!  Our Christmas social was tonight and it was...oh...so fun!  We always do a white elephant gift exchange and most years it gets a little crazy...especially if you're married to Jason Bandermann!  He likes to do some pretty outlandish things...example 1-a kitchen apron with a blown up picture of Jason and I on it (who wants that?!), example 2-white mouse in a box (Kara didn't appreciate this), example 3-Chrisy's fur coat (one year we forgot to bring 2 gifts, so we had to go searching through people's cars...Chrisy's fur almost went home with the neighbor :)  This year Jason's white elephant gift was license plates...not so funny...until everyone realized they were from their own cars!  Let me just say, it was hilarious!  Brother Mark and Mrs. Karen also joined us for awhile before scooting off to their next party.  Before the Anderson's left, Jason and Bro. Mark ended up drinking some baby formula that was part of a gift-ugh!!!  Sometimes, I'm not sure what gets into Jason and I'm pretty sure Mrs. Karen didn't know what had gotten into Bro. Mark!  Regardless, we were so glad they came and were able to participate in the white elephant exchange...Mrs. Karen, not so excited...she went home with a mighty fine purse (actually I think she "accidently left it").  Here are some pictures from the evening.

Mrs. Karen's face is priceless...Bro. Mark just drank the formula!

Andrea hit the jackpot somehow

Those zebra pants were a hot commodity
