Gave= kids received a trampoline and enclosure from Santa.
Received= My husband was so wonderful that he kept notes for months on things I would like, so everything I got was great. To me him putting so much thought into my gifts was the greatest gift.
Gave: I got my mom the Willow Tree Grandmother statue... that was fun to give. Giving Cecelia presents was so much fun, because she got so excited about everything...
Received: All were wonderful!! My BIL got me a framed photo of Leandro Barbosa... my favourite Phoenix Suns player (my love for him has become a family joke!) I enjoyed that gift because it was funny! I really enjoyed that Santa put cash in my stocking specifically for buying clothes. And my in laws got us a 28 gallon bow front fish tank and stand... I've been wanting one for years! Its so pretty!!
Gave: A photo book I made on Shutterfly for my Dad, of photos of my grandfather who passed away. He completely lost it when he opened it. I can't even remember the last time I had seen him cry!
Received: My hubby surprised me with an MP3 player. I'm pretty excited to have it for exercising. Maybe it'll be the motivation I need to keep my New Year's Resolution!
Gave - My brother an embroidered polo shirt that said, "Cystic Fibrosis Uncle." He is the best Uncle and is diligently fundraising and raising awareness about CF.
I gave my husbands Grandma a Rachel Ray cookbook which she has been talking about for months now and had no idea we got it. It was fun to see her open it. My favorite gift that I got is a new Ear thermometer. you can tell I am a Mom since thats my favorite gift!
Gave - I got my husband the book that the HBO series 'Band of Brothers' was based on and the memoirs of the captian who was in charge of them. He was really excited!
Received - The first two 'Twilight' books, I can't wait to start reading them again! And some really great scrapbooking stuff, too! It was just such a great year with our families that I can't just pick one thing, everything was wonderful, but the best gift was probably being able to see our family members!
Gave: a 7-foot long tunnel for our 14-month-old son (from Santa)
Received: 1) Harry Potter V on DVD from my mother-in-law, and 2) from my husband, a book called What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire. I haven't finished it yet but it's quite charming so far!
