ah, one of the advantages of being a missionary kid.... our family was "adopted" by two other families, so i got extra presents, on top of what i normally get, which is a lot. so here's my list... i'm going to try to categorize it a tad, so I can keep it all straight.

From my parents: Bath and Body-Works body splash and body cream (plumeria, mmmm...), $150 towards a new bike, the new Jars of Clay CD, penguin pajamas, the first Harry Potter book (to me and my sister, it was very good)... i'm sure there was other stuff, but i forget what.

From my brother: he's going to give me a Nouveaux cd, but it doesn't ship until January 31, so he gave me a card entirely in code... to make it worse, each line was in a different code. so, i had to figure it out (didn't actually take me hugely long, maybe a half hour?) before i knew that the cd would eventually arrive.

From my sister: a T-shirt which says "People use duct tape to fix everything (picture of wad of duct tape). god used nails (picture of 3 nails). (verse(i forget what verse....)) Duct tape can't do that"

From my uncle peter: a really spiffy toothbrush, and he gave all of the household kids the Encarta encyclopedia program thingy, and i think he gave our fam some other stuff

From my PA grandparents: cross-stitching stuff, a really cool purse.... dang, i forget what else they gave me too =6

From my CA grandparents: renewal of reader's digest (they've given it to me every year for years now) and $45 dollars, which will most likely be added to my bike money

Uncle Pat and Aunt Daphnelyn: a really cool soft fuzzy sweater

Uncle Barry and Aunt Colleen: a purty little ceramic box

Random Family #1: a book and THE most awesome hat ever (blue and teal and yellow, loooong and pointy 9like all the way down my back) with a tassle on the end

Random Family #2: a soft fuzzy vest thing, the new Out of Eden cd, a book, and cologne (now if i only had a date or something to wear it to...)

The other stuff I got which I can't place at the moment: a VeggieTales movie (to all the household kids (Dave and the Giant Pickle))
ummm i'm sure i got other stuff.... i just don't remember what at the moment. if i think of anything i'll add
