Cookie Houses and White Elephants, Oh My

This is my favorite perspective of the white elephant exchange at my mom's house. We're all together and it gets a little crazy. Usually people don't go home crying (this year Isaac had some sort of unfortunate breakdown though).Fun facts about this year's party:
1. Caroline was a big hit with all her cousins (as always).
2. Evan's cookie house had to be destroyed because of a pornographic, sunbathing, gingerbread woman.
3. Jake's house was definitely the best (don't have a picture of the finished product). The candle was a great finishing touch.
4. Sam cleaned up at the white elephant exchange. He had the last number and he picked an unopened tin that sounded like money when he shook it. It turned out to have $21 in change and a $50 bill in it. Grandma always likes to throw in a really, really good white elephant.
5. Isaac was in constant entertainment mode, making everyone laugh and sassing people. For some reason, he really, really wanted one of the "coloring packs" at the gift exchange, but didn't get it, had a complete emotional breakdown and then felt stupid when an elf brought him what he wanted the next day.
