Fave gift(s)?
What did you get that you really liked or surprised about?
My BIL's GF gave us a photo-to-canvas picture of the 3 of us that we took at OBX this year and i LOVE it. I decided it's going to be the start of the gallery wall down the basement stairs (which will be the second one in a stairway in our house, I really like gallery walls 
. My sister gave me a print that I mentioned I liked months ago, total surprise and is also going on the stairway gallery wall it is the seeing eye chart style and it says "Never Loose Sight of the Fact that Just Being is Fun."
Re: Fave gift(s)?
Aw that was a sweet gift from your BIL's GF!
I wasn't super surprised about anything - even though I didnt have a list lol - i did get rain boots which I have desperately needed (and now its raining, so yay, ha), and my SIL crocheted two beautiful scarves for me out of a nice thick wool. H got me slipper socks from LL Bean which I think might be my new favorite thing haha. It's the little things in life!
DH got me a remote starter for my car so we never have to get into a freezing car anymore, which I am thrilled about.
But my favorite gift was this. DH re-created my favorite baby picture of me with Bailey and framed them. The thought and effort brought me to tears and I love it. It's also extra sweet since my mom always said she just loved this photo of me. DH had no idea.
Someone's getting a little brother!
This is SO sweet!!!!
I got a lot of nice gifts from family, but nothing super surprising.

Decorate This
DH got me some replacement plates (we had 4 plates left from our set of 8). I also got the kindle fire, which I love. I'm a little upset at myself for not bringing it in today, but whatever.
My SIL/BIL got us some small tiny bows for the baby. It was very sweet to think of her. And Annabelle was very spoiled this year as well.

Dh got me an organizer for my cake decorating stuff. It looks like a tackle box and was a surprise.
My mom gave me a mouse pad with a picture of the kids which I also love!
My favorite was probably my new camera lens, bc I've been wanting it forever. I also got a LOT of gift cards for post-Thing 2 shopping, which I'm really excited about - it'll be great to get some new clothes and not worry about what I'm spending!
... every single day of forever.
Mella&T - that is such a sweet gift.
DH is happy with his Keurig and I'm happy that my mom loved the calendar and sweetshirt that I gave her. I didn't get a lot of gifts because I really wanted weave poles that were pretty expensive but I'm excited to start training with them.

I need lessons with this! My mom got me one last Christmas and I have never opened it, I don't know why I find it so confusing.
My MIL made a collage from our Warrior Dash pictures that I loved. It was the first "race" DH ever did and he loved it. We both liked that gift a lot, I love seeing the looks on our faces.
My parents gift to us is 10 days in Aruba, they're covering dinners and activities and my mom got is luggage and filled it with travel items and things from Aruba (beach towels, t-shirts, shot glasses, etc).
DH got me remote start for the new car and I cannot freaking wait to get into a freezing car, esp at 5am when I'm leaving for the gym in shorts!
LOL it's just a mini food processor or drink maker. It's super easy. Just throw everything in and mix. (Milk, ice cream = milkshake OR protein, strawberries, banana, milk = protein shake)
