What game did you get, K68?

I got a cool gadget for opening my kids' presents. It has a screwdriver, heavy cutters, and a hidden utility blade. I can snip through those annoying heavy metal twist ties and rip out the other stuff. It's awesome!

Medieval War 2, which is a totally cool game and the sequel to Total War 1. I am putting off installing it on the computer because, if it is like the original, I will wind up playing it all flipping day and night! lol but then again, I really dont have much planned to do in the next three days. lol

My parents bought one for themselves last year, and after trying it out I declared I wanted one. So glad they haven't lost their memories.

I got some clothes.
I also got to enjoy almost everyone that is close to me in my family in one spot having a wonderful day together. That is my best present.
