Glee Season 1 DVD

Tons of clothes (sweaters, jeans, hoodies, boxers, t-shirts)

Lots of gift cards

$400 cash for a "big gift" (I'm buying a new iPod touch)

$100 cash for a date night with my girlfriend (going to use it for upcoming trip to NYC)

And not really a gift cause they were free, but I'm going to the Canada vs Russia world Jr game in Buffalo tomorrow (actually have tickets to all three games tomorrow, but only interested in Canada)

This is what I got for Xmas 2010!!

A couple days ago I got to go to Castles N Coasters for the first time. Desert Storm and all of that.......uh.......yeah. -_-

Clothes (Including a sweet hoodie with built in headphones)

Chocolates

And a shitty self-actualization book that will help prop up my collapsing bed frame...really parents, when I asked for only practical stuff, I meant socks or aftershave or maybe a new bed-frame...not a book to raise my freaking self-esteem!

So all-in-all, pretty good. Plus, I have Split Second and Saint's Row 2 waiting for me at home (Thank you me and ebay!), and $250 collective cash to use towards WCB and BAB (first time to both)!

Loving the MacBook Pros that everyone is getting! The best thing about Windows 7 is that it made me want a Mac! Thank you Microsoft!

 

It was an Apple Christmas for us too. I got Elissa an iPad and her dad got an iPhone 4. I got a new battery pack/case for my iPhone 4.

Quoted for truth! I hope everyone is enjoying their new MacBooks..I know I sure am!

I got an engagement ring!

^Congratulations!

Merry Christmas TPR!!!

I got one of the new iPod Nano's (16GB) that I can use for running. Other than that, a crap-load of Sports Authority gift cards (need new shoes and a Nike thing to track my runs).

The kids pretty much cleaned up. Amanda got a new laptop and some games/movies. Josh got games/movies and is going on a TPR trip next year.

I got the wife a nice watch, a couple of books, a couple of movies and some neat drink maker thing.

In addition we got some movies and games.

NBA 2K11 for Xbox 360

NHL 11 for Xbox 360

Fable III

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Pittsburgh Penguins hoodie

A bunch of Blu-Rays

Money

 

Still more to come from relatives when I go to my aunt's house this afternoon.

Adding on to that after a night at my aunt's house...about $150 in Best Buy gift cards, and $40 in Dicks Sporting Goods gift cards. I was the runner-up in the annual family Wii Bowling tourney of 12 people. I won my money back, but my 12 year old cousin is the one that beat me and won the pot of cash.

I got a box from Robb Alvey. It contained the DVDs I ordered and 12 pounds of his personal park maps to scan and post in the Park Index. This is this first of multiple boxes he will be sending me. It took me 3 hours just to sort and alphabetize and figure out which one are duplicates. I'll keep everybody update on the progress.

In addition to the MacBook Pro 13 and the iPhone 4, I also got a Kindle from my Aunt! I love it!
