I should say my camera and I do love that but really it was a t-shirt. That seems lame but it was one that I really wanted and it was only available online. DH has never ordered anything online and hates anything on the computer so that made it more special.

DH got me a Nook color. I've been listing after it since it came out but kept talking myself out of it because I have a Sony one from a few years ago. I'm now moving all my magazines over to it.

I didn't get much--which is what I wanted. (I wanted people to spend their money on the kids rather than the adults.) But, of what I did get, my favorite is my kindle.

Our gift to each other was a new dishwasher, a dual flush toilet for the master bath and a new clothes dryer.
My favorite gift was unexpected: when cleaning out my dad's nightstand, my mom found a gold chain necklace she'd bought him years and years ago. She had it made into two bracelets - one for me and one for my sister.
Some new running tights from DH, more personal training sessions from my parents, and then my favorite was from my brother - he got me some new Inov-8 running shoes and I love them! He was super sneaky about it too, I was completely surprised!
It's a toss up between the steam mop from my mom and myself (if we're FB friends you already know how much I love this, lol), and the Cuisinart Keurig "brewing system", aka coffee maker, for the salon. I'm beyond excited about both of these!!

That is incredible; it brought tears to my eyes. What an amazing gift.

We don't really do gifts for the adults so I don't have anything exciting to say was my favorite. (at least not yet - we still aren't done celebrating with our local family)
But, I agree with m and m on the bracelets, what a nice and thoughtful idea!
And I'd love to know what kind of steam mop you got - I need one.
I have the sweetest in laws ever, and they very generously give us the gift of making Christmas possible for our kids by giving cash! Sweetest, most generous, loving people in the world! Don't know what we would do without them.
My mother gave me a framed photo of myself and Harper. When I was Harper's age I took a photo on a horse named Buddy Thibodeaux. Harper recently took a photo on a similar horse. My mom took the two photos and framed them side by side. Made me cry!
We haven't exchanged w/ my DH's family yet, but I got a Babyjogger City Elite in the color I wanted (green) from my parents! Now if only I could actually run with it.
INSANELY great Christmas gifts this year!! Kitchenaid Stand Mixer that I've wanted forever. 2 Brother sewing machines--duplicate gift, accidentally--both fabulous! AND a Wii system with Wii Fit Plus!! Could not believe it as I kept opening these gifts! Hubby and family totally came through! And $$$$ on top of all this! Very blessed.

Mine was my nook cover + gift card for nook books.
The O'Baby Blog
Two new cookbooks I've been eyeing for awhile. But the best was not having to travel. We all stayed in our PJs all day

DH gave me a new laptop--a purple one!

a real book (With pages!) and bruce springsteen's the promise and arcade fire's the suburbs

My health back. After getting C. difficile early last week, I was glad to feel well enough on Thursday to go see my family for Christmas.
2nd favorite: my kindle.
"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
