A Kinetic bike trainer from my wife and 2 pairs of running shoes from my Mom. My boy painted me a new bowl.

I gave the wife tickets to see Book of Mormon on Broadway, fancy face cream, the new Jim Henson bio and cds.

She turns 40 in a few days and I way overspent on a pretty shiny ring. Seemed like a big moment to spend on.

Merry Christmas gang.

EDIT: forgot to post what I gave.

my mom - VISA gift card and some DVD's she wanted.

My dad - Tamales. He seriously only wanted food.

My gf's mom - flowers.

Both of my parents have had health problems within the last year and they are both currently healthy; that is by far the best thing I could ask for right now. As far as tangible gifts go:

 

Bose in-ears, iPhone 5s upgrade, a wallet, clothes, some cash, candy etc

the only time i've said my family is getting lazy about the holidays would happen to be the year they went up and beyond.  i feel like such a dick and definitely dont deserve anything i received.

 

got: healthy bit of cashflow/gift certificates, jewelry/makeup/scents, vip JT tickets which i'm just floored about, tickets for a helicopter ride from my brother, and a beautiful coat from banana.

 

more importantly my family got along, my parents had some friends come over for dinner and we just drank tons of wine, ate prime rib, and told stories.  so thankful to have a day like today
