Dad: The 1950-52 and 53-54 Peanuts collections and a keyhole saw set (on sale)
Sister: The Sims 2 and a collection of dip mixes

6. gave my husband DVD of Shrek 2 and Dark Crystal and the big Ray

Charles CD from Starbucks....

I gave our daughter the Chronicles of Narnia DVD set and the DVD of Hero

We added several new ornaments to our tree, one is the Barbie Christmas one and the Lionel Train series for 2004 for my husband.

We kept it lite this year because he wants a new computer, she wants new art software and I don't know what I want.

At my Sunday School fund raiser auction, I bought myself a beautiful ceramic art piece..it looks like a rippling blanket and is just gorgeous. That was more than enough gift for me.
