That is so sweet Eddie is so cute. I love your avatar it is great!!!!

Reading this made me so sad. I have a new nephew that was born in November and I have not seen him yet. My brother lives in Rhode Island so hopefully soon we can plan a trip. I am the worst aunt ever

I got a ton of stuff

DH bought me a bunch of movies and DS games (super excited about the DS games, been playing them all day ). He also put a bunch of gift cards in my stocking and bought me some board games. He refuses to buy me clothes, he's afraid I'll hate them. But his big present to me was a multi-colored sapphire bracelet to match the ring he bought me on our honeymoon....I love it!

My mom got us some gift certificates and she bought me a ton of clothes, so that made up for what DH didn't buy. I also got two coach bags!

My sis made a poster print of her and DH's brother giving their speeches of the wedding with a copy of the speeches in it, I absolutely love it!!! I can't wait to hang it up in the living room.

vera wang princess perfume
cinderella dvd

My favorite was my new laptop that I got from DH, but I also got a bunch of other stuff like christmas ornaments, clothes, some pieces of my new christmas china, candles, and a bunch of gift cards!!!
I love it when the shopping continues past christmas!!!
