QOTD 12/26
Well I guess I am going to ask the obvious... what did you get from Santa this year?

Re: QOTD 12/26
There is no point in me getting clothes right now, since I don't know how I'm going to be post-pregnancy, and I have enough maternity clothes. As far as gadgets, we have enough. I bought a calendar for my mother, but she had already bought herself the exact one, so I kept it (I liked it anyway). We needed a set of utensils for our grill, which DH got. DH got monogrammed cuff links which he loved. Got a pottery barn gift card, which I will use toward baby stuff and a bed, bath and beyond one, which I will use for some miscellaneous things we could use. Overall, I'm thrilled. My baby shower is Saturday and I can see that a lot of the big stuff was bought. We can certainly afford to have this baby, but it will be nice to not have to buy all the big expensive things by ourselves!!
A KITCHENAID!!!!!!!!! Actually that was from MIL.
I got a lot of good stuff. DH got me a new phone. I was using a "smart phone" that couldn't have apps on it. So now I have a big girl smart phone. I felt pretty bad about about it. After I opened it I told DH, "Just want you to know I love the phone. However for the next two hours I'm going to swear at it, say I hate it and possibly throw it across the room." Which is exactly what I did. I felt like a caveman trying to use my new phone. Something like this:
Everything on my amazon wish list haha.
I got pajamas, an amethys ring, a necklace, a chain, an arm band for my phone and a car mount, wii active, wii boxing game (with weighted gloves), scarves, make-up brushes (that I need to learn what to use for what), lotion, julienne spiral slicer, usb hub and my parent got me a table top ironning board and $$. I think I'm using the $$ to upgrade our body pillows and I'm putting the rest for my work out rewards, mainly one of the urban decays naked pallets.
Oh yea, I was going to hit you up and ask which one you think would work best for me!
It's handmade on an outlying island in SC. My parents, my brother, and H's nana gave us some $$ towards our new entertainment center. My mom is making us a stained glass piece that shows a scene from the wedding! H got me a new camera lens and a digital photography class at our local community college.
Well, looks like I know what I'm watching on youtube tonight, thanks @ystaalenburg!
I think I have a cream concealer I use some days for my eyes... I don't think it's a primer though haha. I'll have to get the elf one (is that Target? I know I heard of it). I did switch brushes a bit ago and it did help for the base color. The set I just got has SO many brushes. It came with good reviews on amazon, but I didn't realize it came with so much, and now I'm overwelmed. I'll figure out the ones I'll use the most and pack the rest away for special occasions.
From others I got some beautiful China pieces, ornaments, in laws got us a family membership to the zoo!, stocking stuffers and my fave is the sewing machine my mom got me! I've never has one before but I've wanted one forever and now I can't wait to learn how to use it!!
That is 2 Christmases down and 4 more to go! We aren't through with Xmas until Jan 12th
His parents got me a gift card for amazon, a ton of socks and a fancy popcorn maker (like one of the big red cart ones); my brother in law got me a gift card for amazon as well.
Still have one more Christmas get together to go, but that won't be till new years.
H's parents also got us a wok. We really wanted one so we're pretty excited to use it.
My mom got me a lot of kitchen stuff...a fancy glass pitcher, a tea pot, an electric skillet, wine glasses, etc.
my dad got my some dvds, books, and cds
H's big gift from me was a Nintendo 3DS XL. He mostly got video games and work clothes from the rest of the family.
