Daddy's meat slicer, a huge hit that has kept us well fed for weeks:

Redwall books, always popular in this house:

A cool video game from a cool brother:

and of course, a Barbie movie!:

The surprise hit of the year, Frisbee Golf:

Other memorable gifts that we didn't get a picture of (we spent more time videotaping than taking pictures):

My sweet eldest son gave a gift certificate for a massage! Very thoughtful!
My darling husband gave me ALL six seasons of 24, plus the new 24 movie! Great gift!
He also gave me some beautiful nursing tops (thank you Amazon Universal Wish list!)
Katherine and I also received from same darling man some yummy teas and a manicure set.

Tea sets were also a big hit. Teresa got the one made out of recycled milk jugs, very cool, and Clare got one that looks like a miniature version of Fiesta Ware. We have already enjoyed a few tea parties.

Patrick was so hard to shop for, as his wish list was not doable this year (a shot gun and tattoo, I kid you not!). So he had to settle for a new hoodie from Hollister, some ski pants, Seinfeld DVDs, movie passes and a Chick-Fil-A gift certificates to feed his habit. 😉

Other than that, there were golf clubs for Timmy, MacGyver for Katherine, a doll travel system for Regina's doll Jessica,magnet calenders for Elizabeth and Clare, refrigerator magnets, wooden cars and balls for Teresa and Augustine. And there were books, books and more books! May sound boring but that's what gets cheers around here.

A very blessed Christmas for a very blessed family! Big thanks to Daddy and to God! 🙂
