oh yah, forgot... my digi camera (which of course, i gave to myself early)

 

I'm building a new computer soon too, i guess that's a christmas gift

 

thats more like a new years resolution - i have a "new" computer, its a footstool at my system guy's house right now... i think its been there 6-7 months? guess i shouldn't have told him i wasnt in a hurry.

 

Digi camera, that was my wife's gift.

 

I got a big fat Credit Card bill on the way. Mostly with charges from Toy's R Us, Kay-bee.

My bonus from work comes in February so my wife and I get each other big Valentines gifts instead of xmas gifts.

The kid on the the other hand... Made out like a bandit. I'm still puting toy's together

 

i spent a could hour or 2or 3? just opening/putting toys together sunday...


my valentine gift is a tax return

 

Hehe, I haven't had to assemble toys for a while. Nice thing about having older kids.
The 'toys' are more expensive but it's worth it.
I remember when my older daughter was little we bought her this HUGE Barbie house.
It took me about six hours to put it together and I sounded like Ralphie's Father doing it.
( *%%$^%$*^*&^&@!#)
At least she couldn't put her eye out with it...

 

LOL

2 yrs ago we bought my son a bed with a tent under it. we let him fall asleep and carefully took him out of the bed and put him in our room. We had inteanded to put it together while he was sleeping. I looked over the in structions and figured it would take abotu 2 hours. we started at 10pm and finished at about 5:30 am.

We placed him in the bed still sleeping (he was 3 at the time and still would sleep through a tornado) He woke up at 7am very excited. it was a great gift and idea, but man I ran out of curse words that night.

Ever since then. We put it together the next day. He can get excited over the box.

 

still waiting for mine..... my bonus wont be in until after the new year.

I got:

Mario Kart DS (video game)
6 gallon parts washer
2 tier lighting rig
Nokia N-gage cell phone / game system
recip saw
4" angle grinder


The in-laws gave me cash which immediatly went into buying SHO parts for my overhaul.

 

black 30 gig iPod
Home Depot gift card (new lighting for the LR, w00t!)
Target gift card
bonus and raise from the bossman
two more placesettings of Fiesta (birthday, pt II)
food

 

Got that too! I freakin love it!! Video quality far exceeded my expectations, the only problem is battery life while watching video is terrible!

Aside from that I got a jacket, sweatshirt, socks, underwear, and more cash that I expected from aunts and uncles, so I'm pretty happy!
