Got a great new Breadmaster Ultimate, this thing has a TON of settings and even makes jam and bakes cake!  Another highlight was a really cool book on home decorating and design from my roomie. Already gots me thinkin' of lots of home spiffy-up projects I wanna do!
Best gifts I gave were the ones I sent up north....tried to call yesterday to see how everyone liked them but no one was home.

Olympus somethingorothermodel digital camera 
Photo paper for photo printing
and the rest can be categorized as "and stuff"
My mom really had a great day which was so good to see. Lots of great gifts she truly loves (when she models her new bike clothes for you 17 times, I think they are a hit) and her feet kicked up all day. First relaxing and happy Christmas I've seen her have in...well...ever?

Best gift I gave:
8X10 picture of my sister in law running her first ever race.
She had no idea it existed and she forgot to wear her number because she and brother in law were fighting and she stormed out of the house.
Because this was a first, we had no idea there were people taking pics of the race. My 3 year old picked up a flyer from the ground as we were leaving and I saw the ad.
Oh well, I picked her picture out of 1300+ in the lost and found.
As far as presents go, it was cheap. As far as the memory and sentiment go...PRICELESS!!
Best gift I received (besides mother in law to sick with stomach flu to come to dinner...rude yes, but then you don't know my mother in law)
Sopranos DVD 3rd season

Aw, forget it, then! 
Best given - Our son's gf coming out from Colorado for a week. For the wife, dvds of Waiting for Guffman and A Mighty Wind.

Best to give myself. If I can, a 3:30:00 at Mad City would be nice. But won't find out until Memorial Day.
