Merry Christmas!

I'm surprised I haven't seen any forum threads about what people got for Christmas, but I thought I'd just post here. Maybe people are curious, and at the risk of sounding materialistic, I'd like to share anyway.

At the zoo I was surprised to get a couple things: a calendar featuring the animals I work with from my supervisor, and a goodie bage of candy and a tangerine from one of the other zookeepers I work with.

From my brother and sister-in-law I got a C.S. Lewis book (Surprised by Joy), and a bunch of fun hair clips and headbands and such, which I never seem to have enough of

From Grandma L. I got two turtleneck shirts!

From Grandma C. (which really surprised me because she died a couple months ago) I got a book that was on my Christmas wish list - Eternity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson (the story goes that my mom picked it up from their house when she was helping her dad clean it up to move to an apt.; she thought my dad would enjoy it, then saw it on my list and hid it until today!)

Karrie sent me a little box of chocolates and a cute card.

Sarah sent me a card and Applebee's coupon.

From Mom and Dad, a lot of stuff, including a very nice digital camera (!!!!!), 3 CDs (Switchfoot - Oh! Gravity., Sanctus Real - Fight the Tide, and Anberlin - Cities), a bunch of clothes, including blue jeans (previous to now I only had one pair that wasn't falling apart), some makeup, a homemade cookbook with Mom's recipes and a quilted cover, and a calendar with baby animals. I'm a happy camper

I gave Mom a sweater and a mini fan, Dad a pair of shearling slippers, my brother a fleece jacket, and Dasha the Enchanted soundtrack (we saw the movie and she loved it, plus I figured it'd drive my brother nuts), send a card to Sarah and a small package of gifts to Karrie.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take some more photos!
