Friday night our small group got together for the last time to exchange gifts that were bought from Wal-Mart. The rule was to spend no more than $5 and had to be as creative as possible. The event turned out to be a successful one.
Forget spending 5 bucks. Dave and I had better idea… J/K.
Anna trying her best to finish shopping on time
Eunice is very secretive about her gift
Waiting anxiously to go to my place to open the gift
Ed is waiting impatiently to open his gift
Anna looks like a recovering cancer patient
Andrew is ready to get started…
Dave, our official small group masseuse, trying to relax Chris
Eunice got her princess wand…and she’s happy
I have no idea why I’m holding Karen’s head
Mike is shocked by his gift. Pearl got him a bottle of whole milk (Apparently Mike thinks whole milk is gross)
But he’s a good sport about it and takes few sips
Sungsoo: “Thank God I didn’t have to drink that milk”
The three elves sporting red green and white – the colors of christmas
Let’s get this party started!
sungsoo is now a ninja warrior
I have no idea what Anna is doing. Just looks very journalistic
I got candles!
David and his big feet (they got this for him b/c he’s the baby of our small group)
Best part of the night – Pearl receiving her gift. At first she’s really excited b/c she got coffee – something she LOVES!
Wait, what’s this? Oh no…
Anna cleverly got her an onion. See, if you don’t know Pearl, she despises onions just like a vampire hates garlic. But since she’ s a freshmen, we made her bite into it and keep it in her mouth as long as Mike kept on drinking his whole milk.
Never saw someone in so much pain!
Anna has no pity
Anna is congratulated by everyone for her brilliant idea
We can all be a winner at the game of LIFE!
Andrew is really excited about his stack of AOL Platinum CDs
Jess didn’t like her gift at first but after they explained what it meant, she really liked it
Lauren is happy that she got a plastic bag as her present
This is what I call Care Package Gone Wild – Thanks Karen & Chris!
In the end, everyone’s happy!
Sungsoo couldn’t wait. He busted out his ninja gift and started playing with it.
It was the most popular gift! Everyone wanted to play with it.
Finally Mike and I sporting Dee Brown’s shorts. Go Illini!
Do well on your exams and have a good break!
