kit_kats_mom wrote: I got a new set of cookware, a set of knives, a toaster oven, a massage dvd (the table is my anniversary gift and will be here by NYE) and a laptop bag that I've been coveting.
Before you start cracking up about the massage dvd and table, my DH said that his idea is for him to watch the dvd with me on the table and copy what the DVD says. I'll be listening to calming music on the MP3 player.  Not for me to give the massages...which is what I was thinking at first. I'm such a negative nancy

Dh and I don't exchange gifts b/c we spend it all on the kids. My mom gave me a pair of Uggs and a lovely little Coach bag, which I thought was very generous of her. We gave her a Tivo, which she probably won't be able to figure out how to use!

My sister and I only get gifts for the kids. My SIL hasn't sent us anything yet because she was just in South Africa for work. My Uncle sent us $400 - he has no kids and always sends us a lot of money.
grapfruit replied: Denise, we named his Psycho b/c we were living w/ my mom when we got him. And my mom's friend was staying w/her too (we had a big house) and he would jump on her head while she was sleeping. So thus, Psycho NOW he's super sweet and cuddly. But he does play fight 
Oh, I got my mom a digital frame and a memory card. I loaded the memory card w/like 60+ pictures. I talked to my brother yesterday and he said they just sit all day looking the frame. Like instead of watching tv. At least she likes it!

My sister - A lia sophia slide for a necklace Dh got me, and the bracelet to match.
My co-worker - VS's gift certificate and lotion from there
My grandparents got me $50 cash and a gift card (Dh got one too) -- the only problem is somehow I think it got in the "burn pile" and was burned. 
I totally feel like I am missing something.
I got WAY more than I deserved or needed.
Oh and Santa got the whole family a telescope and got Dh and I couple massages.
HuskerMom replied: I got a Magic Bullet, which I've already used a ton and I love!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
I'm sorry, but what is a magic bullet?....Sounds like it should be in p&i!

Whoever said they got a wine cooler - I'm jealous!

I love that book- one of my favorites.
Maddie&EthansMom replied:
It's my very favorite book. I actually bought it for my best friend for Christmas b/c she said she had never read it. We had to read it in school...maybe it's a southern thing?
