it's a party!

i don't know about you, but i love family parties during the holidays. they always leave the me feeling better, somehow. (a small part of this could have something to do with all the delicious food and wine?)

last weekend we got together with my mom's side to celebrate christmas.

since we have lots of crafty and creatives in our family, this year we put a twist on the traditional white elephant. the rule was, it had to be handmade. oh, the goodies to be had!

i took this print (ok, how much do you love this festive and super easy wrapping! yes, please).

and...i got these babies!

yep. these are handmade by a cousin of mine. could they be any cuter? i have them on my coffee table and they are pretty much my favorite holiday decoration! thanks, shelley!

what games do you play during the holidays?
