Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head and M&Ms

That's what I won at our annual Life Group Christmas Party - I know you are jealous.

We chose to give the money we would have spent on gifts to an orphanage in Guatemala for diapers. How cool is that? I love my group!

The highlight of the game was, of course, the aforementioned basket from the Stone residence. Here's a better glimpse in case you missed it - notice the animal detail:

Some of my favorite people!
