The highlights:

Clothes from Brooks Brothers
A 1969 Mickey Mantle from my fiancee (one of the top 5 presents I've ever gotten)

And, not to be corny, but...
I talked to my grandma, and she sounds really good. She's 90 and hadn't been feeling well for a while, but talking to her and hearing that she's doing ok was a very good present.

My parents are coming into town, plus I have stuff coming from my fiancee's family, but so far a great Christmas.

iPod Mini
flat LCD monitor
a crock pot and things to cook in it for the dorm
random crazy stuff
gift certificates to:
Old Navy
Amazon.com
Sweetwater Tavern (for me and a date...I think my grandparents are tired of me being single)
GreekGear.com (which I've already spent*)

Black hoodie with white background/red foreground letters
matching shirt
green shirt with white background/orange foreground letters (all set for St Patricks Day)

My oldest baby got me a pair of cozy bedroom slippers and my youngest baby got me a pair of turtle shaped earrings (they're so cute; I love 'em!)

Mom brought me down a folding Pitt chair and a pound of Pollak's candy (a Pittsburgh delicacy) and I sat in the chair while ingesting the entire box. Merry Christmas; back to the gym Monday!

Mr. KR got me an 18 inch strand of Mikmoto pearls. They have a pinkish cast to them and a gold clasp. I think he overheard my ooh's and aah's when I was watching the episode of "America's Next Top Model" where Eva and Ann got to tour Mikimoto in Japan and the CEO gave them each a necklace. They're beautiful :)
