MERRY CHRISTMAS (what did you get?)

[Paviche]

My boyfriend got me the special edition Zelda 3DS and gave it to me a few weeks ago

From clients I got: a surprising amount of cash, $50 to Panera, and a bottle of wine. I also got a very nice bonus from my boss!

Yesterday I got:

From my brother: tons of socks (I love socks) and a framed copy of a drawing of my grandmother's old house - kind of a long story there but I'm very excited to have it

From my mom: a nice pair of tweezers, a shower head attachment for bathing dogs so that I can wash the boys easily (!!!), a hard copy of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, some chocolate truffles, mm.

From my dad: A new pen for my tablet. So excited!! The old pen broke years ago and I can finally do digital art again.

Yeah though it's just in place right now, not strapped down, so I haven't used it yet beyond sending the dogs up in to see how they fit. I got a Large because the charts said an XXL wouldn't fit but looking at it now I really wish I had gotten an XXL because I can't imagine it wouldn't fit...there is so much room around the Large. And it's super tight for Mira width-wise so I used the modified divider placement so the divider is slanty...Web on the smaller side and one of the girls on the bigger side with the third in the back seat (which keeps them protected from or out of the crumple zone so suits my purpose).

Just really really wishing I hadn't looked at that **** sizing chart. Who knows, maybe it really wouldn't fit...but I can't imagine it.

From my in-laws: Money

SIL/BIL: Meat

My dogs (via my husband) got me a Starbucks gift card -- it's a tradition.

My husband got me a set of MAC makeup brushes that I hand picked, several Brighton items, several items from Etsy, Etsy gift card, my favorite perfume and a limited edition Brighton Lockheart handbag that I've been regretting not buying since we saw it.

We also have several events/trips planned for 2014 that will be part of our Christmas. It was a good day.

Aww. If it's any help, I think the big limiting factor I've found besides the wheel wells is the distance between the back of the seats and the hatch - the min depth is the depth at the top and for some vehicles that would cause issues closing the hatch if it's too big.

Christmas is a huge deal to us. We spend a lot of money on gift, like a rediculous amount. I'm a only child and so is Katie so that helps lol.

Wheel wells aren't even close to a problem. Height shouldn't be a problem. Maybe the length was the limiting factor but the minimum length difference is only 2" and I don't have the large at the minimum length now.

I don't know. Just irritated.

That said, for whatever it's worth it was really really easy to set up. No descriptions in the pamphlet but the drawings are very clear.
