All in all, I'm happy

I got my wife this suitcase

(She's a big Mickey Mouse fanatic and we take a cruise every summer, usually on Disney Cruise Lines).

This system bundle

and I downloaded this game digitally for her

She's happy too.

And we got this as a joint gift a few weeks ago

I'll be over in a few hours to play, souljahbill. :P


I also received WWE '13. The Attitude Era mode is amazing. I'm only two matches in, but very impressed. Also received AC III. Started that last night and really enjoy it.

Aside from them, I've received some nice clothing, some household items, and some gift cards. Was lucky and got some nice gifts all around, from friends and family.


Big gifts I gave: small TV for my parents' kitchen, FoodSaver for my sister, and crafting supplies for my wife.

No pics but I got some clothes and per usual a signed :Duke: basketball team poster by the entire team. No video gaming gifts for me this year for the 1st time since I was probably 6 years old. :smh: I'm getting old.

I rarely ever get games anymore, I just buy them all myself throughout the year. Only game I got for Christmas was Rocksmith for 360, so now I can hook up my bass guitar and play it through the 360, since trying to learn to play by myself has been difficult to say the least.

My "big" item was a blu-ray player. I had already bought a couple blu-ray/dvd combo packs of movies over the last year or two, so I am now officially upgraded with the player.

To go with that, got a mix of blu-rays and DVDs (on things that blu-ray wasn't available or was still costly). Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman, Walking Dead season 2, Hell on Wheels, A Game of Honor, season 1 of Homeland (I've been dying to see it but don't have Showtime) and some other shows that I watch regularly.

Also got a very nice display case for my Navy football helmet.

I never want anything for Christmas

Got some Under Armour gear (shorts, HeatGear T's, sweat pants and a Steeler's color Golf polo). Wife works there 1-2 days a week so thats why that was majority of what I got, plus that is all I wear mostly.

I flew my girlfriend in to meet my parents and family, and spend four days together. Got other stuff, but that's the only one that matters.

Well, and a Kindle Fire HD for each of us.

The wife and I got an iPad for ourselves. We splurged and actually bought it on a Black Friday sale. So we just got ourselves a couple small gifts for under the tree. I got her a sweater and some coffee and she got me NBA 2K13 and the first season of A Football Life.

We got the kids a few smaller presents, one of which is a set of walkie-talkies (real ones, not crappy kid ones but only $20 on sale) and they have been having a blast around the house. Got them a Wii U along with Super Mario. The grandparents also got them Sonic for it which is a lot of fun. We got our parents a couple small gifts (sweaters or something else) and a couple restaurant gift cards.

Didn't know Football Life had been released as a DVD. Thanks, Rudy.

I would have liked it on Blu Ray but it's only available on DVD and iTunes. Never watched the first year but I've watched every episode this year and both myself and the wife love it. My wife has cried in almost every episode lol. The show does a great job of turning these players into great characters in a great story. Our favourite episodes this year have been the Cleveland 95, Ray Lewis, John Riggins, Eddie DeBartalo, Marcus Allen and Barry Sanders. Have enjoyed pretty much all of them this year.

On DEC 24TH my wife and I got to see an ultrasound of our third child which is due in May. Baby looks healthy and happy. This was a great way to kick off the xmas celebrationAs for fun little things... my boys picked me up Batman Lego part 2. The prize gift on Christmas though... an battery powered recycling truck. The kids love it and fight over it everyday.

Thanks guys. Number three is third and last... but nonetheless it is still very exciting. As for the car situation, we bought a new one a few months ago that seats seven so we should be good. :D

:D Yup this is the last for sure. The wife and I are discussing "the snip." I'm a little nervous about it.

I'm already snipped after number 2. Not much to get nervous about really although I was abnormally sore afterwards. Jogging two weeks later I could still feel it a bit while my twin brother was perfectly fine two days later. It all depends on the individual but milk it for everything you've got! We deserve it baby!

My wife has been bugging me to get this done. She made the appointment and I "forgot" the appointment. I haven't rescheduled yet :)

I've been snipped. Not a big deal really. For the next 24 hours after I sat in a chair with two beers. One on my nuts and one in my hand...and a couple of hydrocodone to take the edge off.

Leave it to you, sir, to make this procedure sound fantastic. I may go get snipped just to be able to do this. :D
