Well I was all excited about the guitar lessons Kyle got me, and then Christmas morning came and my parents had gotten me ANOTHER 10 lessons from the same place! So I'm basically gonna be a guitar superstar by the time summer comes
 I also got a couple of books (Bad Dogs Have More Fun by John Grogan, and Chicken Soup for the Shopper's Soul). The big present was money for my trip to Mexico (4 weeks away!!!!!!!!). I got enough to cover my plane ticket! I no longer have to put any of the trip on my credit card! Then I just got a bunch of little stuff for my trip... a passport and ID holder thing, some luggage locks and luggage tags, and a little set of make-up and accessory cases. Overall it was a really good Christmas  We went boxing-day shopping and I used a gift card from my brother to buy a whole load of tank tops and pretty shirts for Mexico... for less than $5 each!

I hope you enjoy your gift cards! What restaurants are you going to? Traci gave me lots of body lotions and shower gels and stuff as well. I love things that smell good! Oh, and I forgot to mention that Bren's mom and step-dad sent us two books and a $50 American Express gift card. She asked what we wanted and we told her 1984 by George Orwell because it's a classic that I've always wanted to read. It sounded really interesting. I'm halfway through and so far I'm just completely intrigued. She also sent Animal Farm by the same author. I've already read it, but it has been a long time (since middle school) so I'm excited to re-read it even though it's pretty sad. I'm hoping 1984 has a happy ending. It's been fun to read together with Bren every night before bed. He's been reading the Eragon book I got him while I read 1984 and then we're going to switch. Janet, I can't wait to hear about your book. Maybe it should be the next one I read?

Everyone got some really special things. It's so cool when our families go out and really put some thought into what they buy for us. So many of you have posted that I really cannot refer to all of your wonderful gifts, but you definitely have some very thoughtful and caring families.
My family & friends were also very thoughtful this year. I'm almost embarassed to list everything. I got an HDTV for the bedroom with a digital cable box/DVR so I can watch my favorite shows (Desperate Housewives & Grey's Anatomy) whenever I want to, a 2 hr fire rated safe so I can protect my important stuff, Dolce & Gabbana cologne, a cooking pot that I really wanted to go with my set, a sweater, a Photobucket calendar of our summer vacation, some pink golf balls, some stuffed animals (that play music), a bride Christmas ornament (since Melissa is getting married in June), and probably the coolest gift of all, an iPhone so I can stay connected to 4WT and e-mail wherever and whenever I go  . Hubby says the TV was really for both of us, since he likes to get away back in our bedroom from time to time as well. They really went all out this year and over did it some, but it will all be put to very good use. Not sure about the stuffed animals thought. Don't know what to do with them, but they are cute. Best present of all though was having everyone here on Christmas day. Even had one of our friends over to complete the day!!
