Christmas at the Zoo/White Elephant

Every year at Christmastime, my friends from college get together to go to Christmas at the Zoo and then a White Elephant gift exchange.  This was the first year anyone had any kids to bring with us to the zoo!

Next we met up with some of those who couldn't attend the zoo for White Elephant!

You aren't allowed to touch the presents!


Also, for some reason, we've adopted some of the Festivus traditions.  We've stopped doing the "airing of grievances" but we always do the "feats of strength".  This year was ripping phone books.

Katie did the best...don't cross her!


Dave and Chris meticulously merging two phone books together to see if we can rip them apart.  It is suppose to be very difficult.

Eventually the books started ripping apart.

We had a great time, as always!
