4 of my favorite gifts:

A dagger necklace (a KD symbol for those who do not know) and YSL perfume from the boyfriend.

A kindle from the parents, which I am obsessed with! I cannot put it down.

A trip to Multnomah falls for the boyfriend and me. It includes gas money, a gift certificate to the restaurant and cameras. Soooo excited! It is so pretty there and we will most likely go later in the year when it is nicer out.

From my parents:

- A peacock print shawl from the Met
- Two ties for DH
- Chanel No.5 perfume (and we'll just quietly ignore the fact that my signature perfume is Cinnabar while my mother's perfume is Chanel No.5)
- A Scottish cookbook

From my in-laws:

- two bottles of wine (of less than stellar quality)

From me to my parents:

- a slow cooker (which they have been wanting)
- a bottle of Johnnie Walker Green Label (which they did NOT open while we were down there - bristle!)

From us to my in-laws:

- a gift set of Drambuie

Just bought myself clothes from a local boutique plus my favorite perfume (Philosophy Inner Grace) with Christmas money...which technically makes them Christmas gifts.

Many glorious books that I found on Amazon
2 T-shirts: one that said "proud Abuelita", the other was Day of the Dead
a big ole outdoor grill
cool Japanese and Filipino items from our exchange students

What a wonderful Christmas with all the kids and sons-in-law and grandbabies, complete with snow!

And I finally jacked Baby Berry's Facebook, something that many have aspired to do but few have achieved.

GAH. Want.

That's my kind of bag (I'm partial to all leather or leather and suede as opposed to signature.)

The ones I got that I'm most excited about:

-a new, red backpack that I've wanted all year
-a pair of very nice headphones (funny how studying speech and hearing science totally scares you away from earbuds)
-a couple of pairs of warm, flannel jammy pants

Ones I gave that were my favorites:

-Sephora blockbuster
-Mark Twain's autobiography
-really nice body butters in lovely scents

It was nice to see people so happy!

My favorites: a new printer/scanner/copier (YAY!), Planet Earth, and a black cashmere sweater.

I got my bf a robe that he's obsessed with. It's really cute. He's really cozy in it!

yeah, my in-laws, wife, and her 2 brothers are all MSU grads. Younger bro-in-law is still in EL (just finished his zoology degree and now is working on some business degree). He wants to be a zoo director.
