Presents are under the tree

We have presents under the tree!! Of course most of them are for friends and family, but still I got them wrapped and under the tree. C man help me deliver them to the tree. Figure since he 'knows' Santa he doesn't KNOW the difference between Santa and me wrapping them. I even manage to wrap a present for him while he ran another one to the tree.
Last night we met my parents at the local mall (1/2 way spot for us to meet) and we had C mans b-day meal. It was fun and he was totally hilarious when the staff sang Happy Birthday to him. I'll post pictures later.
I still have some presents i need to get, well I guess my DH does. Still nothing for his brothers. I don't know what he's going to do but maybe I just shouldn't worry about it. It's always a hard 'gathering' with his family. WE don't draw names and some years you get stuff from all 3 Brothers and there families and some years you don't. We simply can not afford to give everyone $25+ gifts but we do try to get each brother and SIL and $10-15 gift. I'm giving SIL's Tastefully Simple Beer Bread mix, variety of dips and a can of beer:) (that's for the mix of course) We don't get the nieces anything, way to many. I'd like to draw names, tried it once didn't fly. Tried doing a grab bag thing, not any raves reviews, so I guess....but it just bothers me b/c i feel very weird getting lots of gifts and not being able to give much back!? What do your families do??
My family, we draw names for the adults. $25 limit and that's that.
Oh and we got a Christmas card!! Here's the picture we used, not the best as C man either smiles like he is here or some goofy smile. But i like it and it looks good on our card!!
Oh shoot...i haven't downloaded it yet. I'll post it by itself later!!
