As far as material things, let's see, I got:

• The Nikon D60 camera that hubby actually gave me a couple of weeks before Christmas
• A reverse osmosis, under the counter unit for the kitchen so I don't have to use bottled water anymore to have chlorine free water for my bread making and mineral free water for my soap making.
• A Calphalon slow cooker with timer and an automatic settings.
• A small George Forman grill to take to work so I can cook low fat things for lunch.
• Melissa knitted me a muffler, so that's really special.
• An apple scented candle
• Some shortbread cookies
• Two bread making books, "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" by Peter Reinhart & "Artisan Baking" by Maggie Glezer
• A Yorkie Calendar

We are all so blessed!! We gave Karen a Wii with the MarioKart game, so she and I played that yesterday after Melissa and Garrett left. While they were here, the three kids played Xbox 360 Rock Band together. That one was really loud, so hubby retreated to our bedroom for a while. They got me involved in the action on Christmas evening. They got me to do vocals while Melissa was guitar, Karen on base and Garrett on drums. I didn't know many of the newer rock songs they were playing, so had to wing it, but it was actually a lot of fun. We definitely make some memories this Christmas.

Hope everyone else on here did well!!!!

Sounds like you had a great time! My hubby and I play Guitar Hero which is similar to Rock Band. It's great to do when you have guests. Our friends all really enjoy it.

I'm glad to hear that you had such a good holiday. Did Melissa and Garrett have a good first Christmas together? The first year of creating memories together is so much fun!
