Every family has some goofy thing that they do, that they proudly claim as their own. In my husbands family, which is now mine as well, there is "the statue".
Briefly, "the statue", which is now known as Ellie Phant, started out as a ceramic statue that my Mother In Law had made, and eventually worked her way into the Christmas White Elephant. The rule is that you can re-gift as long as the item has been altered in some way. The next year, she came back with a bandaid on her arm to cover a break and re-attachment. Then, she came back as a Denver Broncos fan, much to the dismay of the Green Bay fans in the family. Back and forth she went, basically between the Denver house (ours) and the Green Bay house (theirs). She has also been a soldier, resurrected from a non fatal self inflicted injury and has taken a world tour at Fox
Valley Mall (ask Uncle Greg, he was her travelling companion).Abbey, from the House of Theirs, got married this past weekend and had a surprise guest at her reception, Miss Ellie Phant. She was a well received guest, and went home with the Newlyweds. It is now up to them as to what her next adventure will be.
Congratulations Chris & Abbey!
