Dec 26: What did everybody get loot-wise for Christmas? :) (gonzo21)

I really just have to get back on track, and get back to writing. Christmas was lovely... as I mentioned before, we slept till 8 AM! :)
Erika read all the labels on the gifts and handed them out accordingly-- to Oma [grandma], Brian, Amelia, me, or herself. I think 70% of them were Erika's, so it actually worked out. After a while, she would look surprised, and exclaim "me again!?!" and her face would light up.

Oma's loot:
- Set of three knives
- A memoribilia sign from an old vacation place they used to visit in the 70s that closed down, but the antique original sign was for sale, so Brian bought it

My loot:
- A Hummel figurine (family heirloom)
- Two sweaters
- A framed photo of my grandma, my mom, Erika, and I (four generations, 30 years apart; My grandma, mom, and I were all exactly 30 years old when we gave birth to our first child, a daughter, which led to the next generation)

Brian's loot:
- Money from his mom!!!

Shared "couple/household" loot:
- Two Dutch oven casseroles
- A cast iron skillet

Amelia's loot:
- Taggies monkey (http://www.amazon.com/Taggies-Dazzle-Dots-Soft-Monkey/dp/B00AJF7OYG)
- Melissa & Doug Bead Maze (http://amzn.com/B004C7QNCQ)
- A keepsake 2014 holiday snowglobe

Erika's loot:
- Winter coat
- Sweater dress and vest
- Barbie Movie DVD
- "Giraffes Can't Dance" story book
- Color Code logic game ... this turns out to be her favorite Xmas gift, she hasn't stopped playing it (http://amzn.com/B004TGVIWU)
- Color-changing bath toy horse (http://amzn.com/B003TUKEM2)
- Shower paints/markers
- Teddy Tank Unicorn for storing hair bows/ties (http://amzn.com/B00N51ZH8G)
- Origami kit for children
- Body spray, set of 5
- Frozen wall decals

Note that all the gifts require no batteries, require no assembly, and are silent toys that do not make noise! :) :)
