Well, I think I pulled off my Santa duties without a hitch this year! I'm truly amazed that I was able to do anything for loved ones after having a whole month with no paycheck. Thank goodness for the freelance work Manuel hooked me up with! It saved the day!

A few gifting highlights...

For Austin:
Boots
Juke cell phone/mp3
remote control helicopter
monogrammed Ralph Lauren bath towel
gift card for the shooting range (yikes!)
shirts
etc.

For Craig:
Sirius radio
3 month subscription for Sirius radio
sweater & pants
wallet
gift card for shooting range
monogrammed Ralph Lauren bath towel
Spa For Men skin care products
etc.

For Mom:
blanket/throw she had been wanting
exercise trampoline
cool tea set with blossoming flowers
manicure products
monogrammed Ralph Lauren bath towel

I'm so thankful for all I received this year too!

Craig gave me a nice printer. He also paid for the groceries for Christmas dinner that my mom prepared.

My mom and Austin gave me shirts, the game Cranium and a cool candle holder!

What a beautiful Christmas this turned out to be afterall.
