My DH wants so many things!

So a car wasn't enough...

And a house wasn't enough...

He wants: an iPod Nano, Sirius radio (for Howard Stern), a Plasma TV (for the house that's 'not really a gift for me'), clothes, shoes, I could go on and on. We don't need kids, he's a damn baby!

We got him a snow blower when we got married, as a 'wedding' gift. So, that's what he got for Christmas too!

Not really original BUT - everyone is getting pics from the wedding! We bought really nice frams. For our parents, we are giving them a collage of pictures as well from the wedding . Pics of us, our siblings, them...etc. (Our families are picture hounds!)
