Adrian's 1st White Elephant Gift Exchange

We felt like we had hit the jackpot when we were (FINALLY) invited to the Nguyen family's annual Christmas party this year! Perhaps our invitation to last year's event was "lost" in the mail! Not only did Adrian get to play with the Nguyen brothers, but he also got to participate in his first (of many to come) White Elephant Gift Exchange. For the most part, everybody played nicely and there were very little stealing action (except for both of the cool gifts that we had brought, which ended up being traded multiple times!) We decided not to steal any gifts (from adults, maybe, but not from kids) and chose wrapped gifts so that little Adrian can tear open the wrapping paper. It was sheer joy seeing his happy little face as he ripped away at the wrapping paper -- a skill he now has mastered just in time for Christmas! :) We took home a set of tupperware and a stainless steel bottle and mug set! Yay! :)
