AHHHHH! That is so awesome.

I got Lakers tickets too (for March)! I am quite possibly the happiest person in the free world).

Signed,

I gave:

My brother: bowling shoes and "Good Will Hunting" DVD
My mom: "Ford County" book by John Grisham and a Carl Edwards mug (he's a NASCAR driver; long story short- my mom loves him now since she won a Clariton contest getting to drive around with him in his race car, as well as winning an '09 Ford GT Premium Mustang)
My dad: 2 Jeff Dunham DVDs and a Sun Devil mascot golf club head cover
My b/f: a wine bottle sealer, ferrero rocher chocolates, and Wolfgang Puck 18 piece cookware set.

I got:

-Seasons 1 and 2 of "Will and Grace" on DVD
-Seasons 1 and 5 of "ER" on DVD
-laptop case
-a water bottle
-purple 8 GB ipod nano
-digital photo key chain
-some gift cards
-"Forrest Gump" on DVD
-a purple sweater
-desk calendar my mom made on snapfish.com with various pictures (my b/f helped with that one)
-tickets to see the final season game for the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte next weekend against New Orleans (very appropriate match up for me, since I've always been a Panthers fan since I'm from NC, but I also spent 8 weeks in New Orleans during the summer of 2007 as an AmeriCorps VISTA...and I love and miss NOLA)
-I also got a GPS, but I think I'm going to return it (my b/f gave it to me, but we talked about it...and he has a GPS, and usually anytime that we use the GPS, we're usually together and if I ever need it for me going somewhere by myself, I'll just borrow his. He's totally ok with me returning it.)

What I think I'm going to get in place of the GPS is a cross-stitch pattern maker software because I really do like to cross-stitch and I've always wanted to have patterns for some of my pictures or other things.

Gave:
Mom: Saints Polo shirt with Fleur-de-Lis over pocket with promise of two tickets to home game of choice next season for New Orleans weekend for her and my Dad.

Dad: Ken Burns National Parks DVD, Glacier National Park First 100 years book and Trains book to get ready for Smokey mt train trip this summer

Sister, Aunt, Grandmother- Personalized mailing address stamps and holly trees from Harry and David

Sister- Trip to Paris in April

Brother and SIL- Teach your baby set of flashcards (I think this stuff is cheesy, but they were so excited about it!) My husband also sent my brother a "Three wolves" shirt which is apparently a huge internet joke.

Nieces and nephews- assorted toys including an animatronics lion that has fascinated my 5 yo niece

Friends- PS2 (2), Nordstrom gift certificate (1), Sunglass hut gift certificate (1), Tina Tang earrings, Broadway.com gift certificate (2), The Red Book by Jung, novelty t-shirts including an Obama Superman t-shirt that says "Yes, We Can Fly!" that we got in Japan of all places

Received:
Husband: iMac 27" It is so beautiful! This is our family present, but I have been wanting a new desktop for YEARS! Stephen kept saying we'd get a new computer when we move...like when will that happen!

Parents: Purple Coach purse and wallet. I've been using it since October when they came to visit so it's hard to remember that it is a Christmas present! They also sent us our Christmas dinner a 4# beef roast from Kansas City Steaks which was great. My mom is QVC obsessed so she also sent a Cheesecake which was pretty good and a pair of earmuffs which came in handy during the Great Blizzard '09! Oh...and some really great pajamas! She also sent my husband money and pajamas.

Sister: Calphalon Pasta Pot- I asked for this since I have killed more pots by steaming things but forgetting to add water to the pot...yeah, not a good idea! She sent a really nice one with a steamer basket and strainer basket included. Very nice!

Brother and SIL: Home made Pralines and Fudge. Too bad I have mice and made the mistake of leaving these out. They got to the fudge before I could. Damn mice!

Sister: Her lovely presence to annoy me in Paris!

Friends- We see many of them next week in Dallas for New Year's so we'll exchange gifts then, but so far, I received a beautiful lavender sequined purse from Coach that I ooh'd and aah'd over in front of my friend that I'll get to use for DC Mardi Gras. My dress will be green with my purple purse with gold shoes-- perfect Mardi Gras colors!
My husband got a WWBD? What would Breesus do? shirt and I got a Fleur-de-Lis Saints shirt.
