The goods!

I thought I would share just some of the awesome goodies we got for Christmas!! I always wonder what other people get for Christmas or buy for others. Who knows maybe you will get gifts idea's for next year :)
So first I got a small camera bag. I have a large one that fits most of my stuff but I really wanted a smaller one. My sister in law actually got me a gift card to this camera store and I picked this out and love it! I also got a lens cleaner pen, haven't tried it out yet though.
Next I had asked for a new toaster because well, ours sucks! I love this toaster and it matches my kitchen much better then my white one ;)
P.S. you like my green kitchen walls? I was asked to share pictures of my paint job I did in my house and I will do that soon cause I am almost done decorating those rooms! I promise ;)
I had got a tassimo machine from my in laws for my birthday and I really wanted a way to display all my flavors and disc's and to free up room in my cup boards. Not to mention it looks cute sitting on my counter! Not sure where my brother got this one from but I have seen them at Walmart if you are looking for one.
(Thanks again brother, love it) Ohhh bath and body works, how I love you so! I had put this on my list that I gave to everyone so I got a bottle or two from almost everyone and bought more on boxing day so I now have a great stock of hand soap, because we don't have a bath and body works where we live.Here are just some of the books the boys got for Christmas! Ya they were spoiled but I loved it and so did they :)So we moved Gage into the double bed because he wasn't sleeping well in the single and Maddox was moving out of his crib and needed a place to go. This was the spare bed and we only ever had "adult" bedding for that bed so my mom and dad got him this bed set. He is now bugging me to paint his room, which I plan on doing one day but it would be fun to surprise him with it!! Here is the spoka night light from Ikea (find it here) I first saw this while searching the Ikea web site and I knew I had to get this for Gage. My mom was in Calgary so she actually got it for him and he loves it. He says he wants the small round one as well. But it plugs in or it can be unplugged and stay lite for up to 5 hours. It has a nice glow to it, which is good cause he keeps his on all night (going threw a faze of being scared of things in his room). It also changes color. I find it better then a lamp because it is a rubber finish so its soft, it doesn't take up much room and its cute to look at :)Oh Elmo, how we love you! My little Maddox LOVES Elmo!!!
He got 2 LOL. So this is such a cute idea! My sister in law got Maddox this little Lion flash light. When you hold it, it pushes down on the button and the mouth opens and growls as the light shines out. So cute! I think Gage plays with it more then Maddox but that seems to happen in our house, a lot.Just some of the clothes the boys got. Most of them are Gages since he is growing out of all his and lucky Maddox gets all Gages small clothes.Here is the cutest snow suit my sister got Maddox! She works at Sports Check and picked this up for him. I love it!! It is a bit big on him but he doesn't mind. He hates the hat though, won't wear it at all but its pretty big on him. Maybe next year!!?My younger brother got both the boys some cute DC runners and we all loved Gages but they just fit him now and there is a ton of snow on the ground. So we took them back and of coarse they didn't have a bigger size so we picked him up this stylin hat!!
(his daddy has the same one, but in white) ;)Gage got a few more trains to add to his ever growing collection of trains.
No he didn't get all of these ones shown. He got about 5 new ones and the rest he had. These aren't even all of his trains, ya its getting out of control haha!
Here is the big gift from Santa! It is the Thomas zip zoom logging adventure! He drives around the track goes across a zip line comes to a logging mine and dumps his log out, it gets cut in half and dumped back into his freight car. Super awesome little gadget and I recommend it!! It also attaches to all his other track he already had so he now has a huge track that we had to move and set up in the basement. And here is Gage just being silly haha!

So the boys also got a basket ball net, a hockey net set, lots of movies, a bunch of other toys, puzzles (that Gage does about 5 times a day and all by himself) a wooden train set from my dad (which I also took pictures of but they are on my camera still). We got tons of gift cards and cash which I will share in a later post what I bought with that. I got some awesome stuff with my gift cards!!! The boys got their daddy the Cabela's dangerous hunts 2011 for Xbox 360 and he loves it. All the guys actually played it on new years and I think all of them are buying one now, so men out there, that ones for you!! I got my new Canon 85mm lens from Santa and his two little elf's (my wonderful hubby). Such a happy momma!!!!!

All pictures in this post taken with my new lens! :) :)

And I am sure I am missing a lot of other things we got but like I said we were spoiled like we always are and I am happy!! I always love and appreciate everything I get! Thank you to all of my family.
