The Christmas Loot List

I think the Critters had a good Christmas. *smiles*

Harley got the one thing he really wanted…Proceeded to take 4 hours to put it together…Then had it split apart, had a bit of a melt down over it, got it taken away for a bit while he cooled down…But, even though it no longer resembles it’s designed intention (as he was making other things out of it last night) he still seems quite happy with it. & there is the chance that it may, one day, resemble Bubba Fett’s Slave Ship again.
He got Wipe Out 2 for the Wii…That seemed to keep him entertained for a bit. He still insists he wants to go on that show in real life. O.o *shudders @ the thought*
He got Legos from all over the place…His Aunt Wolfie & Uncle Dork & Macen got him Lego guys, which thrilled him, as he’s almost got a whole set of the one group now…Apparently missing only one member.
Reese’s grandparent’s got him Legos…So yeah…He’s a happy.
He got some ‘robots’ & some Ninjas…& some other odds & ends.

Sonja got her dollie. *smiles* Which she was quite surprised actually made it here on time…She was actually expecting a box with a picture in it, as that’s what I told her she would probably be getting.
She got a new MP3 player, and with a little bit of trouble, got it playing nice with her. [She’s got some songs that aren’t MP3 files, and I think they were making it twitch a bit. Really do need to get those converted for her one of these days.] & she got new headphones…Hopefully they will last her for a while…Between the cats & her constant use of them…Headphones have a rough life around here.
Reese’s grandparents got her some mini easels with canvases and some acrylic paint. She’s used one of them and the picture she made is quite lovely…I really do need to get a picture of it.
She was quite pleased with her journal from her Aunt Wolfie, even with Macen’s personal touches added. *laughs*
& she’s got odds & ends as well…She seems quite happy with her haul.
Oh yeah…And the full length Hetalia: Paint it White movie.

Mum is all kinds of ecstatic. *laughs*
She got 3 different Dean Koontz books, two novels & a graphic novel, and she didn’t have ANY of them. *grins* One of them was from Raya, and she was worried Mum would already have it…But nope. It was the next one in a series that she had the previous ones to, but not that one. So it worked out quite well.
She got new boots & some odds & ends.

My list of happy loot:

Mum got me an electric griddle…I keep telling her I’m going to make eggs in the living room now…& I’m going to…Eventually it WILL be done!

Harley made me something at school…It involved weaving yarn between nails, it’s loverly…I just need to find a place to put it. He also got me a coffee mug that has coffee written all over it & a fairly good sized, white teddy bear. It’s soooo fuzzy. It’s so I have something to hug when he’s gone.

Sonja got me candy, Twizzlers & chocolate…& a loverly clock that the cats are determined to try and attack. I had it set on a shelf once, had to move it because Coal went after it…Hung it up above my desk…Wampa proceeded to climb up on my desk after it…It has a pendulum…So yeah, they want it bad. Evil kitties.

My Sissy & collective [*headdesk @ a borg related thought] Gotted me bookness of helpfulness.

Some of the other assembled odds & ends:
3 pair of Hello Kitty socks…They go up above my knees. They are loverlies.
A Hello Kitty wallet.
A Hello Kitty sketch book.
A Hello Kitty thing-a-ma-bob…Yeah…It’s like a string thing with a hook on the end of it…I think it might be to hook key ring to…I don’t know…But it’s Hello Kitty.
A Hello Kitty ink pen.
Soul Eater #7 Manga.
A notebook that is suppose to resemble a passport, it has Russia from Hetalia on it.
&…the Dracula & Alice in Wonderland books I need for my English class next semester. [So yeah…Reading is in my future.]
& of course, a few other odds & ends.

I was worried the Critters would be disappointed…There was only about ¼ to 1/3 of what there usually is beneath the tree…But they didn’t even seem to notice. *smiles* I think they just liked being at home…& being together. Which is good…Makes me not worry as much about, what happens if it’s a struggle again next year for gifts…I will just make sure that I can do the best to get the one or two things they really want…& not worry that their isn’t a mountainous pile of presents for them to unwrapped.

Dinner didn’t quite work as planned…But it was still all good.
The Pavlova was much yummies…It resembles astronaut ice cream (or the dehydrated ice cream you get in the camping section of the store), topped with whipped cream and strawberries…We have decided that I’m going to have to make it again, and attempt to add other flavors to it.

Also made the…*looks around* Ug, can’t find the paper that has the proper name on it…In essence, it’s a Russian sauerkraut soup. Which, despite it looking kind of scary, everyone seemed to enjoy…Even Harley. Mum & Sonja both had a second bowl later on in the evening.

I didn’t get around to making the stuffed bread stuff that was suppose to go with dinner…Or the porridge stuff that was suppose to be for breakfast. But I don’t think anyone really minds.
The Japanese Christmas cake was…Eh…I didn’t care for the cake itself…It was suppose to be a sponge cake, then it had whipped cream between two layers of the cake, then topped with whipped cream and strawberries…Sonja said it resembled a Strawberry Shortcake…Which I don’t care for anyway…But everyone else seemed to like it.

Oh yeah…When we went to pick up the Critters Christmas Eve, we were doing it at a McDonald’s/gas station combo…But we got there just in time for the McDonald’s part to close…So we had to go find gas station food to eat…While we were there, found a what they were calling ‘texting’ gloves…They are fingerless gloves, but they were quite loverlies…Mum bought me a pair & said Merry Christmas. *laughs*

I’m going to have to get pictures up somewhere along the lines.

Oh yeah…& my dad sent gift cards again for me & the Critters…So we haz $30 each to spend at WallyWorld.
