Not pictured is a set of fiesta ware dishes I'm going to return to Dillard's because I already have a place setting of 8. I'm also returning the smaller viva la juicy perfume.
I got: Diamond stud earrings Bracelet Vintage travel map Wizard of Oz Mr. Potato Head Wizard of Oz music box (I collect wizard of oz stuff in case you hadn't figured that out) Kettlebell Workout Dvd
Workout DVDs I requested Diamond earrings and some costume stuff A ton of amazon cards so I can buy a keurig if I want it Some cheesey lifetime esque movie pack I'm enjoying as we speak Makeup items A tote of useful stuff A nice wood cutting board Reuse able baggies A tablet Cute clothes from Express
I was apparently GREAT this year! We still have Christmas next week at the in laws. We usually get a generous check and it is my plan to either get a nice headboard and frame or have a couple rooms painted.
H got me a headboard for our bed (wrapped up materials for him to make it, I have to pick out the fabric) and stocking stuffers. We didn't do big gifts this year because we just remodeled the house.
ILs got me 2 cookbooks, a pitcher from c&b, the back to the future trilogy on blu ray, 2 scarves, $100 for me, and a big check for both of us.
My parents got me a new watch, a mint floor cleaner (like a roomba but with GPS, apparently, lol. We just put in almost 900 sq ft of hardwood so I am interested to see how it works), a few baby things, and stocking suffers - a few gift cards, hair ties, a nice face wash, etc.

Post a review of your Mint after awhile. I have almost all hard floor. I'm tired of cleaning it all! I also haven't decided how bad I really want a keurig so other options would be nice.
Will do. My mom said her friend has one and loves it, which is where she got the idea. I hadn't heard of it before she got me one so I am interested to try it out.
we kept it pretty low key this year. i got a robe that i've been wanting and almost didn't get due to availability. i also got a lot of tops/sweaters and 2 pairs of boots that i love.

I got: From ILs: Nice pjs A lounging jacket/short robe for nursing Hooter hider (I hate that name!) $$
From my parents: $$$$
DH and I didn't do gifts this year. All and all it was a sort of sucky year. Not gift-wise, I like my gifts & the $$, but we are stuck here and lonely and bored. Would be fine to just chill if I wasn't so ridiculously uncomfortable. Ugh. Is this baby here yet?
So H and I don't actually exchange gifts since we pool all of our money and pretty much buy ourselves whatever we want throughout the year anyway (within reason, of course). That will probably change when we have kids, but for now we're pragmatists.
From various family members we got a cheese serving platter, bottles of wine, a few card games, H got a one year membership to his kickboxing program from his dad and we got a few hundred bucks in gift cards to Lowes, HD and Amazon. Now I get to decide what wishlist items to get with them =)

Im also curious to see a mint review. I just bought a roomba about a month ago and I'm curious to see the difference in the two. I know technically the mint is better but for me the roomba i purchased was only $279.
Ang, I got a keurig for Christmas and I can't wait to use it. I was tired of wasting 4-6 cups of coffee because its just for me and no matter if I make 4-8 cups I still don't drink it all.

From my guys and IL:
A necklace from DS2 Earrings from DS1 PJ's Sweaters Candles Scarf Hat Cool solar lights Tons of candy $$$$ (enough to get my new couch!!!!!)
We are having Christmas with my parents this weekend.
I am so, so thankful for our families. I am so very grateful for everything I was given, but I mostly love seeing how generous everyone is to my little boys. *sigh*
2 books A new kitchenaid mixer blade-mine broke A fancy travel mug with a basket for loose leaf tea inside it Gap gift card A bunch of lotion, body wash, candles
And the baby (who is yet to be born so I got to open!) got some expensive teether toys, body wash, lotion, and shampoo.
I'm single, so I don't have a bf or H giving me gifts, but my parents were very generous--my mom does all of the Christmas shopping and she got me a down winter coat from Lands End in a gorgeous purple color w/ gloves & scarf to match (pretty jewel tones, green and pink and purple plaid from Target), point & shoot camera, lululemon gift card, a new quilt and shams for my bed, some jewelry, and a bunch of other small things. She goes all out for Christmas and always gets us too much! But, I can't lie, there's nothing like going over my parents house on Christmas moring and opening gifts with my sister like we were kids again!
I got a sewing machine and a case for it, a large serving tray, a canner and canning supplies, and a bunch of gift cards! DH and I didn't exchange gifts, because we are building a new house this spring so that's our gift to eachother

Kitchen, kitchen, kitchen! New dishes, Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer!!!!, bamboo cutting board, orgreenic frying pan, stuff to make apple cider donuts, glass dog treat jar. We got other stuff too. My daughters playroom is now toys r us thanks to our parents. We really only needed to buy the Ikea kitchen for her. They went way overboard. Right now she is playing with the Mr. Potato head family that a few of you were talking about earlier (the big one filled with little ones and lots of parts).
Well, I would PIP but I'm working on setting up one of my new gifts: a new camera! I've wanted a new camera for so so long. The entire left side of my old one had fallen off and was held together by duct tape... yeah... So DH got me a Sony Cyber-shot HD, and it's awesome! It's a little more difficult to set up than my old-school Cannon though, so PIPs might have to wait...
I also got a new shirt, a thirty-one tote weekender, new running shoes, Be Delicious perfume, a Shark steam mop, a few home accessories (such as yet another owl for my house a Baby Cakes cake pop maker, and a GPS.

My parents bought me a new sewing machine. R's parents got me a gc to athletica and a glass bowl (I sort of collect them.). R and I cogifted to each other a nook hd. Then R apparently lost his mind, because he also bought me a dutch oven, about 4 cookbooks, and an induction burner (!!!).
