Every year my sister in-law Pyper and friend Kaylee host a christmas party with all of our friend, they cook a faBuLouS ham dinner with Pyper's famous CheEsy potatos!!! it was delicious. Afterward, we did a white elephant gift exchange, which had us entertained for a good hour and a half. The things people come up with to bring was freaking hilarious.
