Merry Christmas to me!

Wow, each year I am amazed at the number of gifts I receive for Christmas. Some moments I think this is all too much. Other times I'm like, wait, this is way fun! And for once in the 4 years G and I have been together we were able to affort to buy gifts for each other!



So, we'll start with my parents lovely mantle. I love it. They just got a new gas fireplace put in and it is really nice. E hates anything that is hot, she is deathly afraid of this fireplace... she wouldn't even come into the room at first last night! But then the temptation of the presents took over! :)



I bought these cute snowmen salt and pepper shakers for myself. I couldn't pass them up! Sorry for the bad picture quality... not sure why it turned out so bad.




I also bought this for myself. A black utensil caddy. It is just so dang handy. Our drawers have been a mess and this helped clean them out and keeps everything within easy reach and organized. It is from Pam.per.ed Ch.ef. I love it.



I got some yummy honeysuckle soap and my favorite, brown sugar and fig.



I got this yummy honeysuckle scented plug in. I also got a cinnamon refill. I think it is so pretty!



I got this cute little key chain/wallet! LOVE IT!


Funny story here. My sis, mom and I were shopping this fall and I saw this bag at Gap. I loved it, but it was too expensive during a time when I was buying for others. So my sis took it and said she liked it and bought it for herself. I'd completely forgotten about it. And was shocked when I opened it! I love it!

Ok, yes. I love all my presents so I'll quit saying it!



I can't get over how beautifully JJi.ll packages their gift cards. Look at this! They even give you a catalog!



Here I have a Target, 2 Walmart, a Lane Bryant, a Visa gift card and some Lily's giftcards. If you ever make it to RW, make sure you stop into Lily's for a mango smoothy and a turkey cranberry wrap with a side ceasar salad. To freaking die for. Seriously.



Catch ph.rase music ed.ition! Fun!



This is a do-it-yourself photo coaster set. My mom even printed me off some pics of E to put in them. She's smart like that... other wise it would have been sitting in the spare bedroom for months!



Bad cat calendar. Hah, hah! I have 3 living in my home!



All this fun stuff was in my stocking!



I love socks.



My hubby gave me this beautiful black C.oa.ch tote bag. I LOVE it!

He also gave me a one hour massage! Oh do I need that... can't wait to use it!

I got some comfy pj's. I've been wearing them all day today on my sick day home from work. Oh yeah, I haven't even told you all about that. My mom got strep on Christmas eve, I went to the ER on Christmas day with a high fever and sore throat, yup it was strep. Got a shot in the rear. My BIL went to the dr today and he now has strep and impetigo. We were a fun bunch on Christmas day, let me tell ya. I called in sick today.

My new pretty sweater!

Cute new shirt... much more flattering than the pj's huh!

A cookbook and a cute flip flop towel from my cousin B, her hubby T and their girls E and A. There are some really yummy recipes in here... I spent some time on the couch today reading through it!

Whew. Huh. And that was just from my side of the family. G's mom gave us a gift card for gas and a family photo we took earlier this past summer. His sis gave me some Biol.ag.e hair products which smell soooooooooooooooooooo good. And his grandma gave me a snowman cookie jar and a set of snowman spreaders.

I kinda feel guilty posting all this... like no one person should receive this much. But I'm blessed with wonderful family and should just appreciate it and say thank you. Which is just what I did!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
