Jeff's birthday was a couple weeks ago. I won't tell you his age because he'd probably rather I didn't. I'm usually on top of things with presents but I fell behind at Christmas and for Jeff's birthday. I did take him to Bass Pro Shop to get some outdoor stuff. And, I stole another idea from Young House Love. Sherry made a super sweet and funny gift for her husband John with Boy Scout Merit Badges. I did something very similar (okay, exactly the same) for Jeff.
Sorry for the glare on the close up of the explanation. It was a surprise to him so at least that's something. It did take some time but it was really fun putting it together and coming up with funny reasons why I feel he deserves that particular badge. Jeff actually was a Boy Scout so I was worried it would be old news to him but he seems to like it. He even let me hang it up by his side of the bed!
In other news of new stuff...2011 was a big year for new things for me. My folks got me a Dyson Digital Slim for Christmas. It's so awesome. I've already used to clean the house and my car. It's pretty powerful and very easy to use.
Jeff's mom got me a Keurig for Christmas. It makes coffee in like 60 seconds. I love it, I feel like I have a little cafe in my kitchen. I love my new mug too!
Everyone already knows about my iPad already but since you can add new things to it all the time it feels new every day. I was obsessed with this game Phantasmat for over a week. I solved it and have yet to recover from the loss.
Jeff got me a Garmin for Christmas and I've already experienced the joy and ease of using it. I have such confidence while driving to unfamiliar destinations now. 
And after Christmas I got myself a new car. A new CR-V to be exact. I've wanted one for about 5 years now. It feels like I've been driving it forever and when I see another white CR-V while driving I want to wave at the other driver. Dorky, I know.
I did not include a photo of my laptop but you get the idea. Despite all the goodies, 2011 will probably go down as one of my least favorite years ever. Here's hoping 2012 is filled with laughter and happy memories.
