What did you get?!?!?

[Chinadoll]

Best present was a relatively stress free day. Both Joey and my family have dinner at the same time on Christams Day. After a few years of trying to appease both families and the stress of not being able to be in two places at once...we finally decided to stop trying. We each have dinner with our respective families and eventually meet up with each other later.

So....we do our Christmas thing on Christmas Eve. I had a pretty good idea of what he was giving me. I had mentioned it would be nice to have curtins over the blinds and my posters(I collect posters from all the musicals I see...Chicago, Caberet, Fosse, Stomp, Rent, Fame...etc...) framed...but it really didn't matter that much to me because I'd rather spend that money on the furries than decorating my apartment. He made me stay in my bedroom for about an hour while he fixed the place. I cringed every time I heard the electric drill. He did good. He practically bought out Pier 1. Pretty vine shaped iron curtin rods, linen curtins in sage(artfully thrown over the curtin rods so the cats wouldn't destroy them) almost all my posters framed and hung, a cool key rack with shelf, a pretty mirror, a framed picture of a cat that looks remarkably like our Gigi.

I didn't really need anything for Christmas...anything I really want I'll eventually get for myself...like a real sewing machine that I'm buying this weekend with my Christmas money as a Christmas/Birthday present to myself. I got tons of candles, two new pajama sets...I live in pajama pants and a tank top at home....a black beaded purse with my intial T in pink beads, a $20 gift card for Target, a mini George Foreman grill from my future F-I-L, and some Mikasa crystal bowls and an amythest and opal pendant and earring set from my Mom ...that's about it.

The kitties got a a huge 48 in tunnel/tube thing, a cat bed I sewed myself..it came out really cute, a water fountain water bowl, treats, and various toys. I'll post pics on cat general tonight.

The ferts got treats, another smaller tube/tunnel thing, crochet egg balls that rattle, and various other toys.


Hope everyone had a great holiday!
