I got a necklace from John his gift didnt make it here in time.
But its a farting dog.
He'll love it. But I did fix him breakfast and we spent all of yesterday together. No tv, video games, computer or anything. Just me and him and the animals.

I'm SUPER happy with my presents! I got :deep breath, I have an extremely large family: 4 cute sweaters (one from Ian, one from mom and dad, one each from my grandmas), a cute blazer/jacket, a couple of other little tops, 3 gift certirficates to Gap (various aunts and uncles), a set of 4 bath bombs from Lush, a tub of this amazing shower soap from Lush (yes it comes in a tub, both from aunt and uncle), a Vera Bradley overnight bag (santa), a Coach wristlet (I think it might be the same one Kenzie got, actually, from Ian), a kitty mug from Our Name is Mud (one side says "Catffeinated!" and the other says "Decatf", from Ian), Grey's Anatomy Seasons 1 and 2 (santa), Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul (from my baby brother), a Petsmart gift card and some cat toys (for me and the kitties from my sister), an electric blanket (from dad, he worries about me "getting cold"), and a biiiiig ol' box of Frango mint chocolates (from Santa)! I'd say I cashed in this year!

Santa brought my little brother an air hockey table and a bean bag chair, along with some books and puzzles. That kid cashed in this year, considering that my grandma also got him an iPod nano...wow!

The next time, you should at least invite your SIL, over, by herself for some coffee

Yep
my BF got me new speakers for my computer and a mouse/tablet set for when I am photoshopping and a day at a spa


The rest of my family and I decided on only donating to charity this year so just tax receipts all around, although my sisters did get a professional photoshoot of my niece and nephew together just for me (my mum is mad because the photos turned out really well and they said she couldn't have a copy) so they are on the way, lost somewhere between royal mail and canadapost

My MIL and FIL got me and DH a new mircowave, Dh also got me a new necklace and the year without Santa Clause dvd, my BIL and his girlfriend got me slippers a cat shaped cutter for scrapbooking (now I have to start scrapbooking, anyone want to volunteer to help me? LOL) gift cards to Kohls from MIL, sweaters from my mom, a cat ornament that says sisters from my sister, and an Eeyore glass cube that you put in a light stand (hard to describe, but very cute) from my sister and her kids, hmmm. I think that's it. OOPS, nope another gift card from step parents.

Wow sounds like everyone made out great!

I got...

From BF: Engagement ring!
and A Prairie Home Companion on dvd

From Mom: New chandelier

From Uncle: Home Depot gift card

From Sister: Alan wrench drill bit set, Extreme Home Makeover dvd, gift card to Starbucks

(
Can you tell I have a new house and love DIY?)

From MIL/FIL: Crock pot (she's been threatening this gift for 2 years now
), an Anne Klein watch, a purse and a homemade quilt with cats drinking coffee on it
Oh I'll have to get a picture of it for you guys... you'd probably really get a kick out of it.

From SIL/BIL: Dishtowels! lol actually I was expecting a lot more of these. When everyone came over for thanksgiving and started cleaning up afterwards, everyone there at one point or another asked where my dishtowels were... and I don't use them so I didn't have any. Forget it... everyone there said "Oh well I know what I'm getting you for christmas!" I thought I was just going to get two gigantic stacks of dishtowels!

To whoever it was who got the Dyson:
When my SIL and I got ours, we were told to vacuum the house first with our old vacs, then put those away and immediately vacuum with the Dyson. We both did it and were amazed what the Dyson picked up after we had JUST vacuumed! If you have the time to spare, I'd give it a try. It's incredible to see!

I got Mission: Impossible season 1 on DVD a Sonicare toothbrush set, and enough cash and gift cards to buy what I really want - an Oreck vacuum.

My nieces got a cat and spent the day wondering how Santa got him down the chimney. (Their father hid him in a spare room yesterday and put him in his cage under the tree just before they got up.)

OMG! I had vacuumed yesterday with the old vacuum and went back over today with the Dyson. I could not BELIEVE how dirty the rugs were!!!!! I dont want to say how many times I had to empty the canister or how many cats I could have made from the cat hair, but OMG this Dyson is AMAZING!!!!!! Im going to be vacuuming all week!!!!

I was spoiled...royally. Last time I let my husband convince me to have a set budget...I sorta stuck to it, he didn't.

Too much to list but my favorites are a small diamond circle pendant from my inlaws, a 22 inch wide flat screen monitor, new Kitchen Aid Immersion Blender with whisk and other attachments, a green hobnail style tetsubin (japanese cast iron tea pot) with two matching cups, and two different tea collections, two new collections of anime, the second book in the Eragon series (!!) and too much more from family and one particular friend that outdoes herself in the gift wrapping and giving department (truly incredible..you should have seen how she wrapped my wedding presents - silk flowers, cyrstals, fake birds).

I am overwhelmed.

We don't "do" much in the way of gifts, now that the nieces and nephews are older. They get small presents from us, like a pair of earrings, a magazine subscription, a big box of jelly bellies (one nephew is addicted to them, and they're hard to get here), and cash. We both got cash from my mom and in-laws, and hubby got me perfume (Jil Sander) and a DVD set ("Invasion" in English, which I'm thrilled with, though I learned today that our nephew picked it out and ordered it; hubby is mad at him for "spilling the beans", but I'm glad he at least had the sense to ask our nephew for help/advice in that category!)
