Kids are awake and wiggling around in the next bedroom over. They can't get up for another 33 minutes. We have rules! In the spare minutes I thought I'd start this annual GRM fun thread. I think I just got socks, but we'll see in half an hour. 

So what did you get?

Thank God for coffee!

*Edit*- I got a record player and a few records.  My puzzled kids asked why- I told them a record player was my xbox when I was their age blush

Ah the good old days... my son is still asleep; he may have gone to work overnight for awhile though (snow plowing).  Daughter is lying on the couchwith her cat and phone, un-interested in opening anything.

My son got her a Red Ryder BB gun for her birthday (Friday).  She still hasn't shot her eye out thanks to eye protection, and they've been bonding all weekend with shooting tournaments.  laughyes .

Pioneer double DIN head unit, and a syma mini drone to terrorize the cats...

SWMBO didn't trust me to get her gifts right,  so I spent last night wrapping the unopened boxes she got herself from Amazon...

Round 1 was here, I got a Little Mermaid tree ornament (don't ask).  A hammer and a tool bag, lots of car cleaners and air fresheners (I wonder if the creatures are trying to tell me something).

Tiger Mom got me a battery tool combo kit last month on black friday when I needed it so that was my big gift.  She got a membership to a boxing club/gym.....I should be worried for them.

Son got a helmet to commemorate his coming of age (next month) to autocross with me.

does buying myself a boat count? Nobody else in my immediate family makes all that much money. Mom, Dad, and Sister are all on small fixed incomes, I got a few presents that probably hurt them more than what it cost me to play santa to my two my two nieces.

I got a set of MCS double adjustable shocks/struts for the E36 M3.  They'd already be on the car if I hadn't been sick the last two weeks!

I got a Dinan/RMS Stage 2 Vortech supercharger kit for the E36 M3.  Almost complete, need to buy a tune for it.

I got a set of Race Ramps for the 4 post lift.  Much easier dealing with an 8lb ramp vs a 30lb+ ramp.

My wife and I were married at the end of April, 2016, and we're both a bit older for a first marriage. My younger (only) brother is a public defender and JP in NH, and performed our outdoor wedding.

We had printed out the vows we wrote w/ our lines highlighted on two cards (one copy each). Apparently he kept them, and he and his girlfriend had them matted in a very nice frame w/ a great picture of the ceremony, and gave it to us.

Coincidentally, my aunt had just started cutting onions for lunch prep right at the same time..

We go a little overboard with gifting, so here are the highlights:  

I got winter-weight running clothes since I live in MI and refuse to use a dreadmill.  

My wife (AW) got a partially-assembly resto-mod 2003 LeMond Tourmalet road bike.  Reynolds 853 FTW.  Look for a build thread before New Years.

My older daughter (AK1) got a Nikon D3400 DSLR kit.  She's in 10th grade and wants to shoot for the yearbook.  

My younger daughter (AK2) got an Xbox something or other.  

The family gift was a nice soundbar for the basement TV.

I'm excited for us all.  I'm really looking forward to seeing AK1 learn photography. I will try to get her to shoot the rest of the bike build.  I'm also looking forward to biking with AW come springtime.
