I never had any idea one holiday could be so expensive! At home, I never had to pay for much of anything at Christmas. Mother even paid for (before I started working) Kyle's presents from me. This year is a really a switch!!
Buying for Kyle was easy. We bought our TV, which will serve as Christmas this year. He also needs some new jeans, socks and underwear. I have never bought anyone underwear from Christmas before!
Kyla and Kelli are a little harder. I know pretty much what Kyla wants since we've been shopping together a lot. Kelli on the other hand, is a complete mystery. I think she wants clothes, shirts in particular.
My sister is pretty easy since she has such a small wardrobe. I'd like to buy her something really expensive that no one else will have. Mom and Dad can't buy her all of the finest things, and somehow I feel that she deserves them. I wish I could get her all of the things she wants.
Why are parents so hard to buy for? We have no idea as to what we should buy them! Even though they are not expecting much, I still feel as if we should get them someting extra special. Kyle said he was getting me something, but I have no idea what it could be!
I'd really like to have a big party to show off my nice 'new' house to all of our friends, but if we are going to see my grandmother there is no way we could afford it.

Finally school is going to be out! I've waited so long for this much needed vacation. We are leaving on Wednesday (Christmas Day) for my granma's house in Missourri. It's a 400 mile trip and since I love long rides, I can't wait! This is a 'first' for me in many ways.
- It's the first time Kyle and I are going away together.
- It's the first time I've seen my grandparents in 5 years.
- It's the first time I've gone on a trip and gotten to drive.
- It's the first trip I've ever made while being pregnant.
- It's the first time I've ever left Booger (the dog) with anyone else.
Merry Christmas!!
