    Was your favorite and why?
    The necklaces FI got me. He listened very well to the hints I sent. He got me this necklace below, our first name initials with a heart in the middle and a diamond cross pendant I saw a while ago. I had forgotten about both and was so surprised when I opened them.




    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?
    nothing, I really like everything I got

    Will you use the most?
    probably the necklaces FI got me

    Is the most fun?
    the Keurig coffee maker my mom got off our registry. I can't wait to use it!!

    Favorite Gift: FI & I got the chairs for our living room!  Once we finally get our new fireplace doors I'll post a picture!

    Most Likely to End Up in Next Year's White Elephant: I didn't get anything that I didn't like.  So probably nothing.

    Will you Use the Most: FMIL got me a letter sized Circa which will definitely come in handy for work.

    Is the Most Fun: My FILs got us a wine cooler (mini fridge).  We're pretty excited to stock that one up Smile

    Was your favorite and why?
    My Snoozie Slippers or my footie Penguin PJ's. The slippers are like walking on a cloud and the penguin pjs were a joke but they ended up being extremely comfortable. :)

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?
    Probably none of them. Lots of gift cards.

    Will you use the most?
    Not sure. Probably something I buy with the gift cards. 

    Is the most fun?
    Oh my Penguin pjs. I look like a dork in them, but they are amazingly comfy. I wish I had a picture. lol

    What gift...

    Was your favorite and why?  I have a few:  My KitchenAid mixer (even though we are returning it to register for the bigger one), my uggs since I've wanted a new pair for 2 years, and my LL Bean rolling duffel bag because I had no luggage to take to Hawaii for our honeymoon.

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?  Not exactly sure what is meant by "white elephant" but I like all of my gifts!

    Will you use the most?  My uggs and probably my fleece lined leggings, and also my Coach purse from FILs.

    Is the most fun?  The giftcards FI's dad and stepmom got us to Foxwoods casino

    Was your favorite and why? Our moms put together pictures on iPhoto of FI and me and made a calendar out of them (baby/kid pictures and now). It's soooo cute!

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant? None of them, I love them all

    Will you use the most?     The iPhone that FI bought me :)

    Is the most fun? I probably shouldn't say the iPhone again... I love the penguin PJs, penguin mug and penguin salt and pepper shakers that FI's parents bought me :)

    Carebear - the kitchenaid mixer is my new found love.  So amazing!

    Was your favorite and why? My new engagement ring and surprise weekend FI gave me as a early Christmas a couple of weekends ago.  He was so sweet and worked so hard to make it relaxing.

    Will you use the most?     My new ring, I will wear it everyday for the rest of my life!

    Our little hand mixer broke last week because we have making a ton of cookies so we burnt it out.  I made it pretty clear that we wanted to wait to put it on our registry, but FI's mom actually suggested returning it and putting the bigger one on our registry so even though they got it for us she wasn't offended at all.  We might decide to use that money and buy a wine rack.  I think we are going to hold off on replacing any mixer because we've been baking wayyyyy too much and need to stop making sweets.  We figured we could wait until my shower on April 1st.

    Our new rubbermaid tupperware-the kind where the lids lock on to the bottom.  I'm not kidding.  I am an organization nut, and I have more of these bad boys on my registry just waiting to be brought home!

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?
    I had to look up what this was because I have never heard of it and the link didn't work.  I would have to say some slippers my grandmother got me.  I am a size 7 and these were massive; I already donated them to my brother.

    Will you use the most?
    A UConn sweatshirt my parents got me because I have been wearing it constantly since I opened it.  Sweatshirts are one of my favorite things in the world, haha.  

    Is the most fun?
    Coupons from Fi.  We had a "no presents" Christmas where we made a booklet of coupons for each other.  He had so many cute ideas that were original...I can't wait to "cash" them in!  :)

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?  Hmmm...probably the earrings FSIL got me (she knows I don't wear gold, yet gets me gold earrings every year..hmmm)

    Will you use the most? The Keurig my dad got us from our registry!

    Is the most fun? The ice cream maker my brother got us from our registry!  Most fun for FI will be the giant tool set my dad got him lol!

    Was your favorite and why? 
    Our brand new couch, we have only had hand me downs before. 2nd fav has to be one tree hill season 8, i have been waiting since august for it to come out. 

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?
    Nothing, i am very picky, the people that shop for me know that, there are very few things i have ever wanted to take back to the store. I do not re-gift, i find it rude & tacky unless it is outside the circle, for me that is impossible. 

    Will you use the most?
    Our sectional

    Was your favorite and why?     Our new toaster over.  It's huge and so much better than our old one.  On this note, I feel old being so excited over a kitchen appliance.

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?     Some of the dish towels we got from the white elephant on my dad's side.

    Will you use the most?     The toaster over or the earrings my FI got for me.

    My FI suprised me with a really nice pair of sunglasses. I totally wasn't expecting it and he put a lot of thought into it.

    Is most likely to end up in next year's White Elephant?
    A strongly scented candle. As soon as I opened the box I had a headache. I already regifted it to my FSIL because she and her husband bought a house just this past week and she was complaining about the smell.

    Will you use the most?
    My parents gave us some visa gift cards which we already spent on a tv, because FSIL took her tv back and so we were tv-less.

    Is the most fun?
    My cousin made us drink coasters with our pictures on them.
