This is the Purdue quilt Steph made for Will. She also made a similar (but better) Purdue quilt for me.
Steph made this M&M bag for Theodore's teacher. Apparently she is an M&M fan. That is an actual 1# M&M bag stiched into the handbag.

The lamp didn't stay with Paul long. I believe Patti now possesses it.
Uncle Chuck searching...searching...oh! Look! He's gonna pick my gift!!!
Look at the intensity! The excitement! The anticipation...
...the JOY!!!!
Hallelujah!!! A giant calculator and remote control!!! Just what I always wanted!!! In the end, Grandma stole it from Chuck.
Uh, Ed? Your pants are riding up...
2 gigs are better than 1. That means that after you use up one gig, you still have another gig to go.
Chuck caught on camera secretly embracing his gift.
Wee-woooooo. Wee-woooooooo.
Now they can clean their apartments...although Will secretly traded his shopvac with Steve for the 2GB flash drive.
Jerry was last to draw after Grandma stole from Chuck, then Chuck stole from Patti, who stole from Jerry... I think my dad secretly loved the Halloween decorations.
