[SusieQ2]

I got a beautiful flower arrangement from DH's boss. He sent it to us on Friday. I got PJs from DH and I gave him a pair of PJ pants. That's all we did for each other because we are broke!

My parents gave me a $25 for Olive Garden (for me and DH), an ugly robe that I'll never wear, a book to write recipes in (which is about the 5th time they've give me something like that), a square pan with a lid.

My brother gave me the first and second season of Friends on DVD (I love Friends but I never sit down and watch that kind of stuff on DVD). He also gave me and DH a $50 gift card for BJs which is the wholesale store we go to. My grandmother gave me a $20 gift card for Fashion Bug and my inlaws gave me a $100 gift card for Target.

I love gift cards. Of course I'll probably buy something little for myself with the Target one and then use it for diapers, wipes, and other necessity stuff.

[trivos]

Alot of what we got we had already recieved before Christmas. There were some shocking presents though.

from my aunt:
dh and I got a $25 gift certificate for Outback

From my Step daughter we both got a $30 mall gift certificate

From my daughters they spent a full two days before Christmas making me something. My older DD got a sewing machine last year. So they took t-shirts that they don't wear anymore and made a pillow with it. I love this present! It was so creative of them and they spent alot of time making it. They did such a good job with this being their first time using the sewing machine and not even getting any help from me.



from my parents
dishwasher
digital camera
alot of money they gave us a check with a portion of my grandpa's life insurance policy. This was a total shocker! We knew we would get some money once all of his policies and stocks were released but did not expect to get any from his life insurance. My sister and BIL got the same.
My mom made me a ton of oranaments with the pics we just had taken of the my girls and my nieces.

We really made out this year. What was really neat, none of it was expected. My parents always go all out but they out did themselves this year. They usually get us one really nice gift. So when we got the dishwasher I definitely thought that was it.

dh and I didn't get anything for eachother. We didnt have alot of money and wanted to spend what we did have on the girls. We will get eachother something for our anniversary coming up.

[LittleWhiteside]

Well Billy totally spoiled me!!

I got miki moto pearls...however you spell it.
A pink vaio laptop which I am currently using.
A pink Zune....
To use in my brand new Ford escape.
ALso a bunch of accessories for the laptop and zune.

Yeah I Feel like a princess.


My mom got me,
Snowboarding pants and jacket.
New shoes.
Hoodies.
Oh and she sent Billy and I out to dinner qith $100 to McCormick and Schmicks and movie tickets the other night.
We had agreed she would buy me christmas decorations after christmas when they are on sale but I think she already out did herself.

I knew about the pearls all along...I have been asking for them for a few years and Billy accidentally revealed the box. Well when I opened the box that was supposed to have the pearls in it it was a necklace with one pearl. He said the financing got messed up and that was all we could afford. I tried to me nice about it but I knew he was up to something. All my gifts go by and we're sittin around for a while and he grabs like a little gift card box. Inside are my pearls...the whole strand. haha. The one in my case was my moms necklace! What a butthead!

I felt really akward about so many big gifts from him but he said I had a rough year with all the moving and childbirth and whatnot....so I guess I deserve it. What a good hubby.

(Oh by the way...hi guys, sorry I been MIA lately...BIlly is in town obviously)

[giorgia]

ok uhm...



from my MIL: a super sexy thong, a pair of tights

SIL: a book

MIL's sister: body lotion

FIL's sister: a rather expensive bath soap

aunt #1: a beautiful lingerie outfit

aunt #2: lots of make up

aunt #3: €30 ($43)

gramma: €100 ($144)

(i'm sure I'm forgetting something)



It was a "double" Xmas though 'cause I got very excited over Sofia's presents too!!

[MDS0307]

Oh yeah.. I forgot...from my best friend I got a little cabinet that had Apple scented bath stuff in it and a calender that says "Getting in touch with your Inner B!tch" And it has daily thoughts for the Inner B!tch. LMAO....

Also, my mom gave me a really nice frying pan

[~Paula~]

Wow Trisha, that is so sweet!! That's something you cherish forever, how nice of your girls!!
How nice of your parents to give you the $ too, that's always such a blessing!

[melliemom]

Wow trisha that is a really neat gift! I love sentimental gifts like that.

Jeff bought me a ring with a green garnet(didn't even know there was such a thing) and diamonds. 24K white gold, it's very beautiful. I was quite suprised and feeling bad since all I bought him was a mug and some underwear and I did frame a pic of Vivien for him. He also bought me a new memory card for my camera.

My mom bought me some pajamas, sweaters and tank tops from Old Navy, a sweater from target that I picked out, a new mickey wallet, and a really cool book on disney imagineering that i had spotted while shopping in Florida. I bought her this really cool watch that had different disney bands that you could switch out based on the seasons. I should've taken a pic before I gave it to her, it's really neat. I also bought her an Alice teaset, a sweater, and this romance candle that a lady with breascancer made. She started making them to occupy her while going through chemo, I bought one for myself too so I will post a pic. I also bought my mom 2 little snowmen to put on the christmas tree, one has Sam's name on it and one has Vivien's. I was very disappointed when I got to my mom's and she had decided not to put her tree up this year

Anyway...back to me. My sister gave me a gift card to trader joes, and Jeff's mom gave me a gift card to Aeropostale, a sweater, socks, and the Singin in the Rain DVD. She also gave Jeff and I a humidifier and a fruit basket. My dad gave me $50. I'm probably missing some things but that's what i can think of.
