    Congrats on the Wii Swae! Those things are a blast.

    Loot for me was some awesome flannel lined blue jeans, a remote control snowmobile, and a bottle of Jack Denials from my Secret Santa (big thanks for that one!). Lots of cash and gift cards. And EOTech (to be ordered).

    Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

    I recieved Whisky Stones from my Secret Santa (who knows me all too well it seems.)

    Other gifts include several books, a japanese paring knife that is blisteringly sharp, gift cards, a bottle of Crown Royal, and a couple bottles of wine.

    Clothes, shaver, and a cool Submarine from my Secret Santa. Woot!

    However, this year Nuts Jr., was finally ready for Legos. OMG! My fingers are numb from 5 hours of building. Grandma got him two tubs and I picked him up one for a total of 2200 pieces. And not that pre-made, one-hit wonder crap... Just bags and bags of random pieces with heavy focus on transportation (cars/airplanes/boat parts).

    Legos like that are the greatest gift EVER. I can't tell you how many hours I spent with legos when I was a kid. I only had one or two of the 'pre-made' sets, all the rest were just boxes of different parts. I'd probably play with them now if I had them...

    No ... My Secret Santa sent them to me and I was a bit confused myself ... I mean what could be so great about magnetic balls .... OMG was I wrong. My hands cramp, and I haven't gotten a single thing done in 2 days because I can't put them down. The kids steal them every chance they get and now I've had to order 2 more sets for them =)

    Luggage
    For the winter
    Warm Grippy socks, gloves infused with Aloe, and a warm fur lined blanket you zip into.

    Secret santa brought me tea and cookies (Yum) and here I thought that santa ate tea and cookies.
