    What did everyone give their loved ones for Christmas?

    We always buy 1 nice "family gift" and this year it was the Wii w/the Wii fit. Since all of us are trying to be healthier,this will help. The kids all got the needed basics;clothing,shoes,coats etc.The animals had chew toys n bones and the girls all had a feast on Christmas Morning.
