Just got back from my ILs....it was great! Boys like to make it magical for their cousins who are girls ages 4 and 7 so that is fun to watch. Boys got all scuba gear for their trip with my ILs to Belize this summer for their first dive trips. H and I got "dinners for a year"... apparently they send out a diff gift card to local restaurants every month... so yay!
H and I opened one present from each other today. I gave him his light saber chop sticks, which he LOVED. He got me a t shirt from the pitbulls and parolees website. Proceeds go to the rescue, and now I have an awesome dog rescue shirt!

I got my mom's flu worst present ever. At least I won't gain any holiday weight. We just got home from looking at lights and I'm about to go to sleep. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
We haven't really exchanged gifts yet. We had dinner at my mom's tonight, and she gave us our stickings and matching pajamas because that's our tradition. Tomorrow we will have Christmas brunch with my friends, an early dinner with my mom to exchange gifts, and then we will spend the rest of the night with my dad and his parents to open presents with them. Christmas day is exhausting.
But I got some gift cards, scratch off tickets, lip gloss, perfume, and nail polish in my stocking.
We did Christmas at my parents' tonight, and I got a few little things (shirts, a dress, books, etc), a couple of purses I've been wanting, and a sewing machine (that I'll now spend the rest of my vacation learning to use).
We're spending the night here (about an hour away from where we live), then driving home tomorrow for Christmas with the ILs.
We spent the night in by ourselves. I just kicked H's ass in Mario Party We opened our stockings earlier. H got 15 things of mini-play doh and a hedgehog with ear muffs and I got sushi shaped erasers, among other things.
Oh! And my dad's present to the both of us got dropped off by out postal lady at 6pm haha. Better late than never!
I'll exchange gifts with my husband later tonight, but I got some new Lululemon leggings, lined studio pants, a keurig and an itunes gift card from my mom and brother. Little J has gotten a ton of stuff and that was with just 3 things from us. He's a lucky little guy.
I got my laptop from my parents last week. Nothing else yet. Can't wait for tomorrow though, I'm dying to see what J got me. I couldn't think of many ideas, so he was mostly on his own.
I got a few little things. My favorite being the VS flannel pjs that I am now cuddled up on the couch in. DD cleaned house. It is ridiculous the amount of gifts she received. It is honestly too much and while I appreciate it, it is really unnecessary.
My brother sent me a webcam which I opened tonight and used to Skype with him and my parents. So that was cool.
You know that this means we start Hebrew lessons soon, right?
YES!
In fact, I'm pretty sure that that's the real reason I got it. Because I happened to mention to my mother that I had a friend who was willing to teach me...if only I had a webcam...and POOF!
