I got a digital voice recorder that takes the place of a bulky trail journal that I always either bend, destroy or get wet.

16 hours of record time, and I can go home and transpose the recordings to a nice journal....or just listen to the recording of loons and coyotes.

I can tell ya what Laurel got: Thomas stuff, lots of ponies and horse toys, and a "My First Leap Pad," which will take her a few days to get to. First and foremost it's the horse stuff. That girl loves horses!
HPM got me some very cool koi books (one is very difficult to get in the USA) and an indoor grill; I wanted the miniature barbeque pit made by Rival, but since we've outlasted 3 outdoor grills already this little indoor one is a keeper. ;) I got some new whisks (I had one literally explode in the middle of making a pumpkin pie; that was messy)and a bunch of cool little things, like goodies from World Market and bath stuff. It looks like HPM got a lot of candy this year! He also got lots and lots of koi filtration stuff. :D So he gets to dig an even bigger hole in the back yard now!

Woo-Hoo!! Cousins got me a $100 gift card to REI!!

Lots of other neat stuff: sweaters, slippers, shirt & tie, remote weather station, etc.

We gave BowlderSon a pair of trekking poles (same as dad's), a hydration pack (for day hikes), and a platy bag with drinking tube (for use inside a pack for longer trips).

Ate too much already, and haven't even made it to Christmas dinner yet - ugh! Going for a run in a while to burn some of it off....

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Mountain Hardwear Phantom Jacket! :) I never want to take it off. Also, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and a robe that actually does look like a "Purple Haze." (That's going back to the store. It should be used as a curtain.)

Santa got everyone in my family a new jacket. MDS got a Mtn Hardware Thermal Pro, wife got a NF Denali Thermal, daughters got REI One jackets.

I got a lot of nice things, but the family favorite is the Playstation DDR stuff...dance mats, software, etc. My family has been dancing all day and having a blast. My youngest daughter got a HUGE remote control Hummer so she can ride her Bratz dolls around the yard.

Ohhh...my dog got a huge ham bone. Yum.
