What did you get for Christmas???

[gja1000]

I had a really nice Christmas. I got:

1. sweater with a small Texas Longhorn symbol (from my hubby)
2. black lined crocs (from my daughter)
3. Longhorn plaque for my office (from my hubby)
4. brown pearl earrings (from my mom)
5. 16" gold chain (from my hubby)
7. nightgown (frm my daughter)
8. spotting scope - this package has a tag that said, "To Gary and Gayle from Santa - for your next voyage" It is used to look at game that is far away - it is small enough for us to put in our suitcase on our next trip to Alaska or Colorado so we can look at the faraway animals (I did NOT ask Santa for this - but apparently Gary did!)

I will be gone to Oklahoma for a few days so my hubby (the one that is so chummy with Santa) can see his sons and grandsons. I'm taking my mom up to our farm and to visit some of her friends. I'll be running around the state for a few days, then I should have internet when I get back to the hotel on Sunday or Monday, so I'll check back in when I can.

Happy New Years everyone!!!

Let's see....I got a
1. Digital picture frame (from hubby)
2. Bissell Featherweight Sweeper (from son)
3. $25 (from my Mom)
4. Some kind of relaxation fountain (older brother/wife) Good re-gift item
5. Pair of shoes (I bought them, hubby wrapped them and will pay charge)

Oh hubby did buy me 6 bottle of wine and the tools to open them with. I'm making him take them back, so he took them this morning when he left for work. I have not liked any wine I've tried. I've only tried a couple and told him I would like to go to Oliver Winery in southern Indiana. They have wine tasting everyday. I thought it would be fun and maybe I'd find a wine I might like. He just doesn't use his head. Glad it's over!!


Gayle, hope you have a good time...let us know when you can that you are safe and sound.

I got a digital frame filled with about 850 pictures of the kids, Jess, Steve, and some other family members. They set the pictures up poretty much in chronological order. What I love is that I missed 3 years of their lives, so they put those pix in too. Steve did the background music, which is very good.

The best is that they were going to buy frames for me and for Steve's Dad, but I had an empty one. I gave it to them to fill up - why waste $60 or $70?

I love my present!

Yours sound nice too, Janet and Gayle. Have a great trip Gayle!

All of you did better than I did as far as gifts. My husband bought me a weather station, not exactly what I wanted! He bought it more for himself than for me and I think that he knew that I wasn't exactly thrilled with it. He also bought me a Hallmark ornament that goes with my house set and I was really happy with it.

Jaci gave me a necklace that's really pretty and a BLT cheese ball mix. She had a sample of it and really liked it so I'm sure that it will get made soon.

Glen and I got a gift certificate to Kobe's Japanese Steak house from Feyn and Tammy. Actually they gave one to each family and I think that we're going to try to go to Wichita all together sometime over Christmas break.

We got some deer sausage from Dae Lynn and Damon with some Gouda cheese. Yum!! Damon shot the deer just a few weeks ago. (They had the sausage too close to the floor and Reuger got a few bites in!!)

From Amy and Jason I got a Christian book, a package of Lindt chocolates, and the cutest set of salt and pepper shakers!! They look like yorkies and they have a magnet on their noses so they look like they're kissing!! It was such a cute gift!!!

I really didn't get too much gift-wise but the day went so good. There were no problems with Damon or my family. Matter-of-fact, Dae Lynn called this morning and said that Damon didn't want to leave and go to his family's Christmas because he was having a good time. Glen and I had both talked to our kids and explained how we felt and why and I think that they will be a little more supportive towards Damon. That's the best gift that I could ask for!!!

Diana, I'm so happy things went well at your house for Christmas. I think it sounds like you did really well for Christmas myself. A lot better than I did.

Gayle, you made out well darling! You must have been a good girl this year lol

Santa was unbelievable to me this year. I got so much more than I could have ever expected. I am truly blessed with great people in my life that know me so well

I took pictures of the things I got for my brother back home lol they especially wanted to see the etched champagne glasses Brad got me from things remembered with our wedding date on them. I almost cried when I opened them, I immediately apologized for my joke about the box because I had some trouble getting into the case lol

The only things not pictured, are a sweet little necklace from Brads aunt (I am going to surprise her and wear it on my wedding day because it is a star and it will go well with my star dangle earrings I was planning on wearing that day) the photo printer/paper and the rice cooker my mother gave me.

pics:
Brad got me most of the DVDs, except the Audrey Hepburn ones my father got me. I've wanted to but never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I had a hell of a time trying to find Wait Until Dark after I caught it on TV once.
The movie clip board is a photo frame but it actually even clanks down. Brad gave me that

Brad picked out this jacket believe it or not, I love it.

He got me the flat iron, his grandmother who just got out of the hospital bless her, got me the curling iron. The wall thing my dad got me

My oldest son got me a gift card, my daughter got me a gorgeous sweater, my youngest son got me a hat and booties set for my new collectable doll and my hubby got me a new collectable doll kit made out of solid silicone.. I LOVE HER.. I posted some pictures below, I am a custom doll maker and I collect solid silicone baby dolls, I started painting her today, I will show you girls when she is completely painted,together and with hair..LOL:kiss2:
hugs,
