My Top 8 gifts for 2008

I hope you all had a great Christmas...our family had a great day. After we opened gifts we just hung out all day playing games, relaxing, and eating leftover goodies. On Christmas Day, it's the one day that I don't take a shower or even get dressed. I stay in my pj's all day and it's a great day just spending time with the kids and my husband.


I got some great gifts from friends & family. I was thinking about all the things that I got and I decided to blog the top 8 things for 2008.

1. The Most Meaningful gift that I got was a Jesus Face Hologram from my sister. You turn the light on and everywhere you move his face follows you. It's really cool. I made video so that you can check it out below. After all Jesus is the reason for the season.


2. The biggest gift I got was a new living room set. We refinished our living room two years ago with a new fireplace, hardwood,paint etc and we made it more neutral colors and I still had a blue leather set so we went to better color and more comfortable set. Scott & I have our own chair and a half recliners and the kids get their reclining couch. I Love it....It was delivered on Monday.

3. The Most Useful gift I got was an external hard drive for my laptop. Ever since I have owned a digital camera I have put all my pictures on the computer and haven't backed them up. Scott is afraid that something will happen to my laptop one day and all of my pictures will be gone. So I have backed them all up on this great hard drive.....

4. The most fun gift I got was a video slot machine game for the computer. We had a great time playing the penny machines in Vegas that Scott thought I could play all day at home for FREE....

5. The most soothing present I got was a foot massage with heat. My feet always hurt and this will be a great gift to use at the end of each day...thanks honey....

6. The most practical gifts I got were some new scissors & pens. Scott buys these constantly and they always "disappear" and the kids have no idea where they went lol....we'll see how long these ones stay around.
7. The best smelling gift I got was a bottle of clinique happy and some lotion to go with it from Elaine & Robert. I also got a great smelling candle from my sister...

8. The best gift I got this year is priceless. It's the moment when Zack realized that he got a new sax for Christmas...the look on his face made me want to cry....



Here's the video of Jesus Hologram...It's really cool to see....

Zack had a great time opening gifts. He got 6 months worth of playing on his favorite computer game, World of Warcraft.

He also got the Guitar Hero World Tour Band Game. It has the game, guitar, drums and microphone included. He was happy about that.

The gift he had no idea that he was getting was a new professional sax....he was so excited when he got it....
