Enemas and other Christmas fun

My Christmas vacation started out with lots of fun, including our traditional White Elephant party with friends.

The double enema kit made it's annual appearance:
Brad scored a supposedly functional carpet spotter:
Angel's wrestling mask and scary clowns:
And a dead dog statue:
Because of a bad wreck on Highway 99, some of our guests were delayed. So we ended up doing two rounds of gifts, and I forgot to get more pictures. Oops :)

That was Sunday evening. Monday, Brad and I met some college friends for lunch at Claim Jumper. Ryan and Heather were in town from Washington, D.C. We hadn't seen them since their wedding years ago:
We got to visit with David two days in a row:
It was great to catch up with Darrin and Gretchen, too. It had been WAY too long!
Later in the day, Mom, Eryn and I did our annual toy-drive shopping trip to Bi-Mart.

We filled my car to the roof with skateboards, balls, baby dolls, nail kits and puzzles:
Barely had room for Mom:
We delivered the toys to Medical Teams International for distribution to local agencies:
The party, lunch and shopping were great ways to kick off our holiday break :)
