MURDOCK CHRISTMAS PARTY

My whole family got together this year for our annual Christmas Party. Santa Claus always comes to visit and gave them all presents. I don't think Mason and Taylor should have received one though. Mason told Santa that his name was "Taylor" and Taylor said his name was "Mason", only my kids would try to tease Santa! He knew though and told them it was bad to lie!!

The kids pick names every year and open the cousin presents! Mason and Taylor got Legos and Alyssa got a purse full of lipstick!

In some of these pictures you will see that many of the kids have permanent marker mustaches thanks to Aunt Ressha! We thought she deserved some payback so Ed and Cameron held her down and gave her one of her own! I caught her when she was just washing it off!

We play a white elephant game every year and this year took the cake!! We laughed so hard it hurt. Shanda got the "burger sucker" which she gags at every time she even sees one. Steve got the Barbie that really needed a shave. Lance got a toilet Halloween costume that looked like it had really been used from Damon! Dad got the infamous naked picture of Lance which has been showing up every year for the past five years or so, but this year it was enlarged to poster size and the rule is that whoever got the picture of Lance had to hang it in their house until next year's game! HA! Dad I am sure you will find some place to hang it! The one that we all laughed hysterically on was the "elephant" present (it's an elephant game right??). Kendra got this and her boyfriend Nate's face was so red! I am sure that this will be a present that will be showing up again next year. (Thanks for the idea of the elephant - You know who you are - I don't want to embarrass you!)
