Our oldest bought me a lovely teapot because I don't write without a steaming mug of herbal tea beside me.
And our younger son filled a basket with our favorite food and drinks.
Hubby knocked it out of the park, as usual, and got me something I will really enjoy . . .
A purple bike -- just like my sister and I shared when we were kids, well, except that one had a sparkly banana seat and a flowered basket for library books. I got my first real bike from my mom when I was 14. Now, at 46, this is only my third bike. Can't wait to ride it!
And here's a closeup of the shirt Hubby snagged for me from the Newseum in D.C. . . .
It's true, especially when the food is chocolate chip mint ice-cream.
Oldest son and I each got my hubby an e-reader. Oops. A Kindle and a Nook Color. Which one should he keep?
Our faraway family sent gift cards and books and all manner of goodies. And mostly love.
Even the pups got things to chew on and chase. The cat snubbed her new catnip toy as all regal felines must.
I was happy to have all my guys home with me, even the four-legged ones.
Happy holidays to all, and to all a good night . . .

Keep both ereaders. Use the Kindle (if it's one with an e-ink screen, rather than a Kindle Fire) for real reading of books. E-ink is much easier on the eyes for long-term reading. Use the Nook for e-versions of magazines or thinks like craft books where you want to see pictures in color. He may also be able to use it for browsing the internet.
Paula,
Thanks for the great advice.
Hope you have a wonderful 2012!
Best regards,
Donna
Happy holidays, Donna! I gave my brother a bike for xmas -- we did secret santa so only had to buy one gift this year (I loved doing xmas this way). BTW I have a kindle and I love it. Can't comment on the Nook.
Thanks, Gail! I hope your brother enjoys his bike as much as I've been enjoying mine. The weather has been beautiful! I'll let hubby know that you enjoy your nook. Happiest of holidaze!
I am partial to the Kindle. It sounds like you had an awesome holiday filled with goodies and lots of love from your family. Who could ask for more? Happy New Year
Thanks, Melissa! Happy new year to you, too!
