Our best 2008 Christmas Gifts–spa package, Nintendo Wii, clothes, home spa kit
Zach gave me a joke-of-the day calendar, as he does every year. For some reason, I just love reading the corny jokes every day at work; I think it makes it more bearable. The calendar for 2009 is from The Office. Sometimes, if they strike me just so, I hang them up on my cubicle wall. I can not wait until March 10, which says “Can I trade this job for what’s behind door # 2?” He also gave me Friends Season 1 on DVD. I already have Season 3, but haven’t watched it because I have to watch 1 and 2 first. So now I need Seasons 2 and 4 through 10. He also gave me a “spa kit in a box” which included Vanilla Noir bubble bath and body cream from Bath and Body Works, some home facial, fizzy foot bath, an eye gel mask, and a gift card for the Executive Escape package at the Head Over Heelz Salon and Spa in town. It includes a 90-minute massage, a manicure and a haircut and blowdry. I am so excited about that! Zach is awesome.
The boys got a lot of clothes from me, since they hardly play with their toys anymore. Thing #1 got a fake bug-making machine from my parents (which was pretty cool), and some Transformers, Uno Spin, and a lot of Bakugan cards and accessories. Thing #2 got a Solar System model (it still includes Pluto as a planet, but otherwise rather neat), a Jenga game, some Legos, and also some Bakugan cards. And of course the bikes! They loved the bikes of course. I may have to get Thing # 1 a bigger one though.
The girls got some clothes, a perfume maker, brownie mix in a cute bowl, and Zach got them dwarf hamsters.
I mentioned the Wii, too, right? It’s awesome! More about that later.
