Look at all the presents surrounding the tiny tree! These were for 12 people.
My stash this year:
1) New backpack, Fujifilm Instax, Sadness Pop! figure, pants and framed pics of us from Mike
2) Bootie and sweaters from my secret santa :)
3) and measuring cups from his mom
My secret santa didn't like any of the things I got him except for a Legend of Zelda shirt; I got him crew neck t-shirts, flannel shirt, and Batman Wii U game. Even though he's 15 and said sorry for being upset, I still think it was rude :/
My new name - by Mike Lam
I got Mike much needed boat shoes and a bath robe (they have reindeers on them hehe). He loved them! His secret santa got him a rain coat and a breakfast sandwich maker (which he didn't like because he doesn't make breakfast).
One of his sister's is visiting her boyfriend in Denmark right now so we skyped both of them in when we opened presents. It was funny taking pictures with a laptop and we all wished she was there...
Mike's two youngest sisters got the most excited and had the most hilarious reactions when they opened their gifts. One got a job so she finally bought gifts with her own money, and her secret santa got lots of stuff! One of them was a $5 giftcard haha. Yeah we have a weird sense of humor.
After opening presents at midnight, we stayed up until 3am talking about our gifts and taking pics with my instax. Then we spent the day after Christmas napping and watching specials on tv. That night, we had a gut-instinct dinner at Sang Kee and I used my instax again!! Call me hipster but it's a cool toy! I love this new toy! I'm going to use it again when his sister is back from Denmark. More family pics for everyone :)
