For our Sunday School class's annual white elephant party, we let each of the kids pick the presents for us. I didn't think they would find humor in the presents. I just thought they'd enjoy the whole picking a present and opening it thing. Turns out, the kids did a great job picking out their gifts. Lauren's was a "purse." If Lauren's anything, it's girly. She loves her some purses. Plus, it was a "packed" purse. One of our classmates went on a mission trip to Germany this summer. His ticket was for regular class, but they were full, so they bumped the Davises up to First Class. Lauren got their first class toiletry bag. It came with chapstick, lotion, socks, kleenex, earplugs (which were promptly taken away), and the eye-cover-thingys for when you sleep. Lauren about flipped out when she opened her present. She didn't let go of her "purse" all night. Then, when we got in the van, she had to put her "eye covers" on. She absolutely loved it. Then, on top of that, Ryan opened up a plastic candy cane filled with 10 tiny tubs of play-doh. However, on the way home, Ryan informed us that the play-doh needed to go in the closet. I was a little nervous about what he was going to do with it, but sure enough, as soon as we got home, he marched over to our closet that has our play-doh and such in there, and put his candy cane in there. I love it when kids are responsible. :)
