Birthday & Christmas Haul!

NOTE: This post may be a little out of order as I still plan to blog Christmas picture and Maya & Suri's birthday party. But, I wanted to be sure I didn't forget all of my gifts :)

My birthday was a week before Christmas. It is THE BEST week ever gift-wise! I am still thinking I should have a "July" birthday next year so I can break it up a bit. Between my birthday, the girls' birthdays, and Christmas all in the the same week-it makes for an extremely busy week! Anyways, here is my haul:

Anand asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I couldn't really think of anything. UNTIL...Shelbie told me that Disney on Ice Princess Classics is coming to Maine in February. So, I asked for tickets for us to take the girls!

I can't wait to go!! The girls are going to be SO excited!

Mom & Dad got me:

A gravy boat!






And a nail dryer with polishes!






The pin that describes me perfectly!






And 2 t-shirts!
This one I was super excited about because it's signed by Melina Kanakaredes! Mom didn't know who she was! She used to play Eleni on Guiding Light! LOL!











I LOVE the card!






Look what Mom wrote! A www!






Stacy & Paul got me:
A beautiful bath set...


And the most perfect cake server...a HIGH HEEL cake server!!



Nana got me:
An adorable serving crock:



My aunt got me:
The book written about Madonna by her brother. I'm a Madonna fan from WAY back! Don't even get me started with Evita...I can quote the entire thing!



And here is my crazy aunt:



And you know from a previous post what my girls at work got me!

For Christmas, Mom & Dad gave us a gift certificate to a restaurant by a campground we like to go to. So...looks like we have plans for Memorial weekend! They also gave me some pajamas :)

Anand got me:

New running shoes (Saucony Progrid Stabil CS):



Glow by J Lo perfume:



Some two-tone red & black driving gloves which are SUPER COMFY!

A FABULOUS bottle of wine:



Yum! That didn't last long!

Some Olay in my stocking:




Some new replacement heads for the Sonicare toothbrush:



And for all of those workouts (Oh yeah, I haven't had one of those in a long time but now that I have new running shoes AND good health-no more excuses!) some Secret Clinical Strength! I've been wanting to try it but was too cheap to buy it...LOL!



WOW...that sure is a big picture! ha ha!

Oh, and one other thing!



So I can download some new tunes on my iPad!! Any suggestions?!
