We already had a wireless router at our house. Last year we got our older son the thing you hook onto the back of the xbox360 so he can play wirelessly. This year our younger son bought himself an xbox360 system. So we got him one of those things to hook up wirelessly as well.

Walt and I just decided that that is the best gift we bought anyone this year. Both boys are in their rooms playing the same game on xbox. They are playing with each other in fact. But they are in separate rooms, so there has been no arguing or disagreeing!! I LOVE it!!

I love it.

I have already said that technology (mainly gaming) has done SO much to bring people together, while keeping them apart. The BEST of Both Worlds! LOL

4 people playing Mario Kart in our living room this morning can attest to that!

You all are gonna laugh at me, but I don't care. My favorite gift under the tree was The Official Guide to Adventures in Odyssey. I've listened to Odyssey for years and years and love it still. Now it's nice to be able to put faces to some of the voices. And to read the behind-the-scenes stories. I can't wait to dig into it!!!

My REAL favorite gift tho was that both of my boys absolutely loved every single thing they got. Considering that 95% of what they got was clothes, that is really saying something

They knew things were tight this year and were very happy with everything just the same.

I used to love Adventures in Odyssey. My children grew up with the tapes and listening on the radio. Excellent gift, Margie.

Glad your boys loved their gifts! I bought my son a leather jacket. He already had one but, it was a little bulky. He really loves the one that I got him. We were three hours from home, eating in a restaurant yesterday at noon and in walks our son. He had no idea we were there, just passing through and stopped to eat lunch! He was wearing the jacket that I gave him. :thumpup

I loved everything I got. But, I loved that my husband got me a JetSpa footbath and a pedicure, which I will have done this week. Very cool of him!

Girls,
My daughter bought me the most excellent razor in the world. She bought one for me and my son. It's the Schick "Quattro"! The most awesome razor I have ever used!!!

She also bought me some organic Raspberry Leaf tea and a beautiful cream Victorian cup. The tea is for my hormones. What is that about?

She said, "I drink it too!" Good save, girl!
