What are 2 favorite gifts your LO received: Besides the kitchen set which I AWed the other day, I gave her a cardboard playhouse (which is WAY bigger than I thought it would be and takes up our whole kitchen but man does she love it. I need to find a better place for it, but we've got to move out some Christmas decor first! Other than that my mom got her a battery powered plastic stand mixer that you can take the mixer off and use it as a hand mixer, it's super cute and will go with her kitchen
What was your favorite part of the holiday: Spending all day yesterday in PJ's with MH and daughter lounging around opening gifts and not having to go anywhere, I have NEVER in my life had such a relaxing holiday, they've always been filled with this place for dinner, travel here, travel there... hurry hurry hurry. I hate it. I was so nice to relax and stay home!
Anything else you'd like to share? I'm bummed MH had to work today all day I've seen him only for about 30 minutes total, but he's made a promise to not work any more overtimes on Christmas, so that's a plus!

Got home at 8pm, got the kids in bed. They barely got to play with their toys. They really wanted to play too. It was sad having to say they had to go to bed. I know tomorrow will be even more fun for them, but I wonder sometimes if seeing family is *that* important.

He just made me smile all day long with how excited he got over everything.

What was your favorite gift you received: passes to the employee stores for Columbia Sportswear and Adidas...and a card that said I get to go on a shopping spree there. I haven had a new winter jacket since 2000. The one I currently use is SO's after the zipper broke on his Columbia one, they sent him a new jacket....but he had already purchased a new one. So I got the new replacement one that was sent to him. I'm really excited about the Columbia one because they also own Sorrel, Mountain Hardware, and Montrall.....and we will be getting everything 50 percent off.
What was the quirkiest/corniest gift you recieved: I didn't really get one. But Gator got a custom made gator pillow that SIL had made by a lady at her work. It's odd looking, and SO thinks its hilarious.
What are 2 favorite gifts your LO received: Gator got a lot of cool things. But my two favorite ones are a bike helmet and a fire truck. I hunted high and low for a helmet that was a girls helmet but not so girlie or covered in princesses. I finally gave up....but my dad hunted around and after going to 15 stores, he found one. I love it! And I love that it was from my dad because growing up he wasn't a big gift giver but when he did get you something, he either hand made it in his shop, or he worked really hard in getting the perfect item. The same with her firetruck. Gator loved one at the kids coffee cafe and always plays with it. I hunted for one only to find out they were discontinued. My sister ended up findig the exact same one at a neighbors while she was cleaning out toys before the holidays and the neighbor gave it to her for free. Gator has been playing with it non stop!
What was your favorite part of the holiday: it being over and now being able to relax.
