1. Of all the gifts you've gotten for your children, what are you most excited about?
I'm excited about the Doggy DH and I bought Bailey. He is always looking out the window looking for the doggy that lives next door and across the street. While doing this, Bailey will make his cute little woof woof noise. It's so sad, we want to get him a REAL doggy, but will have to deal with a toy one for now, until we move next year! Then he gets a REAL doggy for Christmas!!! :)
2. What did you get your dh for the holidays this year?
DH wrote me a list of games he wanted, they're NES games which is the old Nintendo games so I can't find them anywhere, except on Ebay. He had like a list of 30, I was to just choose a few, but I bought them ALL for him! LOL.. Cost a fortune too... But it's okay.. It's CHRISTMAS!!! :). Oh and I'm getting him the new Braun Complete 360 Shaver. He said he wants a electric shaver...
3. What are you hoping to get?
Hmmm.. I don't know. I get diamonds on every occasions... I was hoping to get MORE (LOL), but I know I won't get any this year, because DH is buying a new truck for Christmas. (long story) but I need a car to drive Bailey around.
4. If you do any baking, what is the favorite thing you bake? If you don't, what is your favorite and who makes it?
I don't bake or know how to. MIL on the other hand does a great job. I don't have any faves, but they're all good. I like anything toffee, caramel, or cinnamon.

No, not hosting any gatherings. Going to the IL's for Christmas!

1. Of all the gifts you've gotten for your children, what are you most excited about?
--We are getting both Justin and Matthew new bikes (tomorrow?) and I'm excited about that. They outgrew their old ones. I'm also excited about the wooden dollhouse I got for the girls to put in their room. It was very expensive, but it's so cute!! I think they're just going to be thrilled. It came the other day, and I was so tempted to open it and set it all up (I love home decorating, even if it's in a mini form, LOL!)
2. What did you get your dh for the holidays this year?
--Well, believe it or not, I'm debating getting him a truck and surprising him (more on that later).
--What I did get him was a bunch of clothes, I made him a coupon book of "love favors" for the 12 days of Christmas ;) Just today I got him a sound system for his office at work (a small one), I got him a fancy high-tech opthalmoscope/otoscope that he'd wanted (Oh thrills, right? LOL! And those suckers are EXPENSIVE!!), I got him CDs, a calendar to give him New Year's Eve to put in his office, for his office I also I framed him a really nice picture of he and I on the beach in the Bahamas last Summer (what happened to our tans?? LOL!), and I made a special photo album of me and the kids for him.
3. What are you hoping to get?
--A day to myself would be nice.
4. If you do any baking, what is the favorite thing you bake? If you don't, what is your favorite and who makes it?
--I bake cookies and gingerbread. There's a bunch of Greek pastries and such that I try and make too. And always baklava at some point during the Christmas season. My favorite thing is chocolate chip cookies and really good brownies.
5. Are you hosting any holiday gatherings? How many are coming?
--YES!! And I'm already getting nervous! Christmas Eve all my ILs are coming for a big Italian fish dinner. Luckily, they all bring stuff, and Michael cooks too. I love my ILs to death, and it's always a lot of fun. But this is the first time we've done it at our house, and it's a lot of people!! Michael has a huge family!
--Then New Year's Eve we're having our 3 best "couple" friends over for drinks and games. No kids!! LOL! We rotate on that one, too, and this year we volunteered, because we have a new big basement with a bar :) I get a bit nervous hosting, though, and hope it all goes well.
Great questions!!
