White elephants that just get a little carried away

My sister drew our name this year for a white elephant gift. We are now the new owners of this thing:
From Christmas 2010



It's entirely custom made --- thoughtfully including Boise State colors. It was painstakingly put together and mailed it in TWO packages surrounded by 12,000 styrofoam peanuts.

Trevor thought it made a good swimming pool. And I said, "Do NOT dump them out."

From Christmas 2010

And right after I said that, they WERE dumped out.

More shenanigans ensued later. I walked by the boys' room where they should have been sleeping and instead were cheerfully sitting on the dresser throwing tissue by ripped tissue onto the floor. (Secretly, this really made me laugh. They can make a disaster so non-chalantly!) Apparently it was all Joel's fault. Joel could not confirm or deny this because he doesn't talk that much.
