Re: Soooo What did you get for Christmas?
Great gifts, girls!
Well, DH and I open only half of our gifts on Christmas and leave the rest till New Year's Day. As where I come from (Russia) New Years is bigger than Christmas. Anyway, got some great gifts as well. The biggest for me was HP wireless printer that can also be used for printing pictures! DH also gave me lots of paper and cartridges! I also got a beautiful hand-made photo-album, new cover for my ipod and season 5 of The Office (LOVE).
MIL got me very nice shirts, cute apron, Christmas recipes, kitchen towels and wine markers.
Our tree still has lots of gifts that we will open on the New Year's Day. My parents are coming to celebrate the New Year with us and I'm very excited about it.
Karrey, love your camera and cell phone! Elizabeth, congrats on the oven
Oooh, you will love your mixer! I remember the first time I used mine I made a cake, and I made DH come in the kitchen so I could exclaim about how well it mixed the ingredients. LOL, it doesn't take much to get me excited!
We kept Christmas to a minimum this year . . . which actually made it quite enjoyable.
DH and I didn't buy gifts for each other. We got Bebe a Grover puppet, a Cookie Monster doll, blocks, little rattles and other toys, and a few other little things. My parents got us the 6 quart sautee pan to our set, new throw rugs for downstairs, and a few other odds and ends. We got other small gifts from close friends and family, too.
Bebe also got a silver set from my parents, tons of books, a few things of clothes, a sock monkey, a high chair, a walker and a few other super sweet things.
Nice. DH and I have a cast iron dutch oven (by time the thing is filled with food I can barely get it out of the oven...lol). The main thing we make in it is pulled pork with bbq sauce. It's delicious!! Wish I could help with more recipes.
I have a red one, too! I LOVE it! I hugged the box when I opened it LOL!
This year I got:
a sweater
a scarf
gift cards
2 books about Marilyn Monroe
earrings
hot roller set
I got a new Kate Spade purse, a ring, a shoulder monkey, a sock monkey and a throw from my mom and stepdad. The IL's got me a sweater, a slingshot monkey, this super tacky ring (I love tacky rings!!), sock monkey slippers and a gift card to Borders.
1 BIl got me slippers and a skeleanimal doll. The other one bought us a wii - seriously.
H got me a necklace made out of a .45 caliber round and it has a topaz set in it and a gift certificate for a massage and facial.
oh and I bought myself that under the counter radio/ipod player that Target was selling for $40. LOVE IT!
We got spoiled this year!
M and I originally weren't going to do gifts for each other, but while we made a last minute run to the dollar store for some stocking stuffers, we stopped into a Liquidation store that we hadn't seen before and ended up spending WAY more than we were planning to! I got a new jacket, purse, wallet and hat and M got new shoes and a wallet. It's my new fav store, all brand name stuff and it was like anywhere from 60-85% off the original price!
My parents got us books, gift card to go out to dinner, Pet Eraser vacuum (I've been wanting one of these for a while!), Wii games, toys for the kitties... I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more things.
My brother got us a really nice TV stand for our new TV!
My sister got us an iTunes gc, treats for the cats, and (my favorite present ever!) she made us a little sign on a piece of tile that says The Massie's established 2008. I'll have to take a pic of it and post it later for you girls to see! It's so cute and I've been trying to find something like it for a while now.
Matt's parents got us a leopard comforter, toys for the cats, little odds and ends.
And lots of little odds and ends from his siblings and friends. We def got spoiled this year!
Nice score girls! Looks like everyone had a nice Christmas!
I have been sicker then a dog all weekend
Gift wise, Dh got me a Key from Tiffany's!!! (My first tiffany's jewelry BTW!!!)
He also got me a big bottle of my perfume! So that should last me a year hopefully!
On my side we drew names, m brother got me. He got me a mail organizer thing which we really did need and he also got me this really cool old (100+year) book! I have been wanting to start a vintage library so thats a good start!
On DH's side, I got a gift card, a book and calendar! Not to bad.
Woohoo!! Congrats to DH!
Agent - love the necklace!!
Breanne - I love Vera Bradley :-)
Okay...I already posted about the Vera Bradley purse and wallet from DH (it was my first, and I was uber excited). He also got me a couple pairs of earrings and the new Zelda game for DS (with a stipulation that I have to beat my first one before I can play it - which I agreed to ONLY b/c I'm so freakin' close to the end its ridiculous. His parents got me a beautiful gold necklace and crucifix, and DH got a new crucifix for his necklace (he lost it while helping friends move a few years ago), some smelley stuff, ornaments, candy, JCPenney giftcard and slipper socks. My parents got me Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a new cartridge for my Cricut, a flat iron and a giftcard to Michaels. I also got a fleece jacket from my brother/SIL and a Tilly's giftcard from BIL. Joint gifts were a rice cooker, a cute snowman snack serving tray, candy, a beautful snow globe, a light-up eagle decoration (pretty but not sure where to put it), and a panini maker :-). We were definitely spoiled this year.
