so....what did you get?

A very nice Christmas here :goodvibes ! The best gift was watching my kids open their presents. They received things they didn't think they would be getting, so it was great seeing their reactions.

My most special gift that I received was from my daughter. She wrote me a letter thanking me for always being there for her. She has had a rough couple of weeks (broke up with her boyfriend) and has been so down in the dumps. She actually said she feels like we have gotten closer though as a result of it. It made me cry, it is the sweetest gift I could have ever gotten.
 
I had a wonderful Christmas so far!! I woke up at 10am!! I love to sleep in. DH & I don't have children yet, so it was pretty low-key. He bought me a bundt pan set with carrying case, and my most favorite gift was Mickey Crocs!! He got me the pearl and pink ones. I love them!! They are on my feet right now!! I bought my DH a GPS for his car, and an Ipod docking station. Both were totally on sale at Kohl's. I bought my Mom a HD Professional Kitchen Aid mixer from Costco. She bought me one earlier in the week!! Have a blessed day!!
