Get anything good?
Anyone get some awesome things this Christmas?
I got a pair of beautiful diamond earings, a keurig and mario kart for the wii from dh. Cant wait to make my first cup of coffee!
Re: Get anything good?
We received an XBox 360, Kinect and the Disneyland game. Total surprise.
And for fun, I received a donut maker, and I'm kind of excited to make donuts with wee one. I love silly random useless gifts like that.
My Mom went overboard buying me new quilting stuff, including a massive self healing mat to replace my well worn smaller mat. I'm so psyched! Plus a ton of new rotary blades, all fresh and sharp, and I just realized 99 pecent of you will have no clue why this is a good present.
DH got me a necklace with all three kids' birthstones on it in birth order that is gorgeouse. I also got a bread maker that I'm excited to try out. And a pair of black boots that are pretty cool. And a gc to Macy's so maybe I can get some clothes that make me feel good (I'm thinking leggings and tops to go with them so I can wear them now and once the baby weight comes off).
Husband got me house shoes/slippers, cute pajamas, and a new sports bra that I asked for. My sister gave me a sweater, a couple books, and a bunch of hair accessories. Mom got me some beautiful tops and sweaters and the coolest lunch bag with bpa-free containers for packing my lunch. We had some silly stuff too like Tinkerbell Pez. I gave myself the Urban Decay Naked Palette (I had a gift card) and looooove it!
My ILs gave me a Kindle Fire
DH gave me a new cross necklace
My parents got us a new down comforter. We really need it! Now, I need to get a new duvet.

No more baby siggie pics. Boo.
OMG.....love my soda stream!
DH got me a Garmin, which I'd really wanted. And a mother's necklace from the Vintage Pearl.

Pandora braclet with 6 charms and he described the meaning of each one. I cried.
My mom gave us an IRA.
DH bought me a Raider hoodie I'd been wanting and a pair of Chucks I wanted.
Katie Talks About...
DH got me a Rose Gold Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, and IPad, and a really cute VS nightshirt.
My mom got us a couple's gym membership to Gold's and a BJ's GC, she also gave me an antique diamond ring of hers.
MIL got me UGG slippers
SIL and brother gave us a Yard House GC
My boys got enough gifts to open our own toy store.....
DH & I agreed not to engage gifts this year, but he & the boys surprised me with a Roku, which I'm totally psyched about.
MIL bought me some cool scrapbook stuff & storage containers, and gave us some money for our bathroom remodel.
My mom bought me a bunch of random stuff, some OK (shirt), some I'd love to return (stuff for a Keurig, which we don't own)... I find it funny because all I asked for was $ toward our bathroom fund, which she said she got a GC for a month ago...nope. Eh, at least DH escaped the wolf shirts & ties this year. LOL

Jealous on the rose gold watch!
DH did get me a Michael Kors white band watch that I have been wanting for months now and a sweater and some gift cards and a pair of Ugg boots -- this from the guy who agreed to a spending limit and did not stick to it. I felt bad that I did, but it's the thought that counts. He said the extra stuff over the spending limit were from the kids - how sweet is he?!
My mom got me some clothes and a fun make up bag and a gifit card.
DD also got enough toys for her own toy store - I can't wait to move so I have a place to put all of these toys!
