House of Howes

Each year at the annual Howes Christmas party, we have a gift exchange. For the adults this consist of everyone bringing a $5.00 gift. We draw numbers and the fun begins. This year I drew number 1, which isn't the best number to draw. The first person picks a gift from the pile. Then number 2 has the option of taking number ones gift or picking his own. Number three can take any gift or choose one from the pile. This goes on until all the gifts have been pick. So the last person ends up with the pick of the lot! Gag gifts are common at the Howes party. This year Angie (courtesy of Jared Smith), picked the gag gift of the year! For some reason no one took it away from her!

Isn't She Pretty?
