Bandits strike again...

I thought I'd give a quick run-down of all the fabulous gifts we received over the past two days. We are thankful to everyone for everything!!!

My hubby: Jim and I had already gotten our big gift, the television, so Christmas was mostly gifts we knew this year! He also got me a cute mixer (i picked it out), some socks, three DVDs that I gave him to wrap, a beautiful watch, a ferris wheel picture holder, a small ceramic heater, a $5 target gift card in my stocking, Evan Almighty DVD! He also got me an incredibly sweet card that I will tell you more about later!!!

Mom and Dad: $ towards entertainment center, 2 shirts for me, 2 sweaters for jim, socks for jim, small bag for me, bag with haircare products for me, an appetizer book, tie rack for jim (that moves and has lights), and my usual disney snow globe (snow white this year)

David, Marisa, Kaeli, David, & Jonathan: George Foreman Grilleration for Jim (AWESOME!), something small for me, awesome black fleece comfy pants, and a red shirt that says "Shake & Bake, that just happened!!!" Gotta love it!

Riya & Bill: Star magazine subscription, I Love Jim mug (those are for me); Jim - nice work shirt

Aunt Lois, Aunt Paulette, Uncle Tom: Beautiful red satchel bag for me, with small brown flat bag and 2 awesome work shirts for jim with ties

Sera & Ryan: black flats with a sparkly bow for me and something else later

Erica: something adorable

Jason&Jessica: Game for the Wii, Super Mario Galaxy something or other (it's awesome, I forgot the name)

Schultz Family Grab Bag

For Jim's family, we've done a grab bag the past two years, which is always a lot of fun.

From his mom, I got a cool new game for the Wii with Skeeball and darts on it.

From his brother, Dan, Jim got a game for the Wii, Pirates of the Caribbean, where you use your controller as a sword!!!

Murphy Family Grab Bag

At Jim's aunt house, everyone gets involved in a larger grab bag with items anywhere from $5-$15. It's pretty neat and always turns out great. I had vowed no more fleece blankets this year, since their shape is easy to tell!!!

In a simple drawing, Jim received a $25 Kohl's giftcard and we didn't have to do anything!!!

For the grab bag:

Jim: Speakers for computer or new tv, $15 blockbuster gift card

Me: $25 TGIF gift card with picture frames (uncle terry and aunt shirley spent too much!!!), a cd player discman, and a beautiful chenille BLANKET (jim and I were actually okay with this because it's gorgeous.


Our luck is phenomenal!!! And Christmas was truly amazing and blessed more than you know!
