We had a nice Christmas, too. In both families, we drew names for the first time, and it was nice. So, I got money, gift cards, and picture frames. Our camera broke, so Mike and I bought a new SLR camera for each other. Our main gift for all of the family, though was our sweet Sooner, our new English Springer Spaniel puppy. We also had the first white Christmas in all of my 48 years.

Shannon, Boomer, and Sooner
From John:A foldable laptop computer table that I can use while sitting up in bed.
From my brother: money
From my niece and family: Gift cert. to The Cheesecake Factory.
But, to me, the best gifts were the compliments for the gifts John and I gave to his grandkids, sons and DIL's. The adults are hard to buy for, they like to pick out their own stuff. () But everything was perfect! They called me 2x. No exchanges this time. That thrilled me since we really gave everything a lot of thought.
I love giving gifts, especially if I get it right!
I still go through the "I miss my parents" crying spell every holiday.
All your gifts sound super!
