This year's bounty from my parents:

iLive under-the-counter mount iPod stereo
Memorex iPod/CD stereo
City Hall/Firehouse Olszewski
2 PS2 games
Tow Mater pillow
princess blanket
pirate-inspired buckled leather shoes
Little Mermaid DVD
Disney the Ultimate Visual Guide coffee table book
Mickey Mouse DVD
Disneyland Treasures DVD
Oswald Treasures DVD
The Daring Book for Girls
Pirates of the Caribbean pop-up book
$100 in cash (all in singles, individually rolled and placed within 100 straws in a box - mom's pretty clever there)
Pair of movie tickets
Toolbox with 26 tools
DVD player/surround sound system
Stained glass Mickey floor lamp
Assorted pajamas and clothes
Remy in a Jar (the oddest gift I've ever received from them - it's Ratatouille's Remy in a plastic jar, and he runs around in it on the floor, which is great for torturing the cats)

And, Ken got some stuff from them too. We're spoiled.

The coolest thing I got for Christmas was a nice quiet dinner with Rose and her parents - it was really informal, and the champagne was yummy.

...and has WAY too much free time on her hands.

She spent 2-1/2 hours rolling and stuffing them. I spent only 5 minutes popping them out with a skewer, much to her dismay.

You said it, not me.

Hmm, what did we get...

My brother got us the Pixar shorts DVD (yay!) and a game I had in childhood called Run Yourself Ragged. It's now called "Screwball Scramble" but it's exactly the same. Such an awesome gift!

My parents got us a set of serving bowls, which we've returned for store credit since we have plenty of bowls. I'm just glad it'll get us something fun and kitcheney when we need it....and she didn't make anything for us, for which I am grateful.

From other family, we got some books, some Best Buy and Fry's gift cards, and of course some lovely meals together.

I think that's it. Oh, we got a citrus juicer from a gift exchange, and I got an awesome Mickey scarf and gloves from a work gift swap.
