Christmas loot!

Well, I figured that I would post a little update of what I got for Christmas, then start with what I made others for Christmas (mostly since I forgot to take pictures of some of the things I made, lol).  I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
My Christmas was fantastic!  Other than the fiasco of losing my sister's cat (we found it, but only after we searched the house and outside for a few hours....we called her boyfriend to come over and help look for it, poor guy drove lie, 30-45 minutes to help search for the cat!  He saved Christmas though!), everyone was actually in a good mood!  Doesn't always happen, as everyone knows.   We had fun, it lasted a while, nice gifts all around (my sister and I made a lot of our presents, I think that makes it even extra special), good food (if I do say so myself!  I'll be sure a post some recipes, some things turned out AMAZING), good times :)

And, now, I won't list everything, just a few things!

My sister and I got some new PJs.  With fuzzy robe/hoodies to go with them.  I don't have the pants on in this picture, but I just liked the pic :)

Also got a few new books,  along with those, my mother also gave my one of my grandmother's old cook books on baking.  It is from 1927, she  was only 7 years old!  Had her name written in it as well :)  Definitely a book to cherish.  I can't wait to try some of the recipes as well

The Tofu shirt is one my sister's boyfriend painted for me, I thought it was so cute!  My sister also bought my the shirt underneath it from etsy, along with a shirt that says 'Ich Leibe Etsy.Com!' which I'm wearing right now (since it i75F outside!). 
The painting is called 'Rapunzel and fox', it is really beautiful, from my mom. 
The frog is self explanatory.
And that last one is a beautiful ornament handmade by a online friend/pen pal, Lady Jane (thanks!!).  It is so well made, I couldn't believe how wonderful it was!  I showed it to my mom and she was very impressed as well.

My sister also got me a Home Tofu Kit which is going to be so fun to try!!
Also got a new hard drive, needed, since I broke my last one.  This one has a 'drop gaurd' on it, lol.

Got a shamwow!, which is kind of funny.  I had never heard of them before (I don't watch tv, apparently), but it looks...useful :)  And pretty cool!
Also got a toy helicopter, to entertain the cats, those aqua globes that water plants, a Dalai Lama daily calendar, some prayer flags, a few bollywood dvds (Chup Chupke, one that I didn't have as well!)
Among other things!  (I didn't post everything, no one get offended!) I made out very well!!  And this was a 'small' Christmas! because of moving, retirement, etc.  Didn't seem that small!

Good times!

That's all for now, my dad is bugging me for the computer.
Continue having a great holiday!  More posts coming up.
