I received:

Money from my parents

An awesome full size keyboard with karaoke, tv, and SmartCard capability from my husband (Woohoo! I can practice my piano-playing on this until I can liberate my actual piano from my parents house!)

A Sears gift certificate from my Grandmother (which will go towards tools and practical items we need for our house)

A red cashmere turtleneck and a Lenox collectible Christmas tree ornament from my MIL and FIL

An IKEA gift certificate from my sister-in-law

A Target gift certificate, the Kate Spade Occasions book, and a serving platter from my other sister-in-law

A serving platter and assorted gourmet cooking mixes from our wedding sponsors

A subscription to InStyle magazine from Nic because NIC ROCKS!!!


This is only a partial list because I know the presents are going keep rolling in--I'm going to Arizona in two weeks and I know that the relatives who were too lazy to mail gifts are going to fork them over at that time! lol

It's a four-door, I got the sedan not the coupe. I think my parents figured it would be easier for me to get my little sister and the new baby in and out of the car with four doors!

I absolutely looooove lacoste shirts. I bought a bunch when I was down in Palm Beach this summer. I saw a lacoste jacket in nordstrom last month for $270 but it was reverisble so I tried to convince my mom it was really like paying for 2 jackets. It didn't work. But I'll probably go back to buy it now that I got a lot of Christmas money!

Since I wasn't with my family yesterday, I met up with my mom, sister, one of my nieces, and two nephews at a mall that's about halfway inbetween us (an hour drive for me and them). My mom gave me:
- $200 which was awesome cause she only gave $100 to everyone else.
- bought me 2 pairs of Steve Madden shoes which totaled $103.00
- some Murad face wash that I wanted to try out.

My sister said she's gonna give me something when I visit them in January. I don't know if my dad will give me any money since I haven't seen him, and don't know when I will.
