A very small Christmas at my dad's house

Christmas at my dads this year was pretty bittersweet because this is the first Christmas since my Aunt Marcia's passing (she wasn't with us last year because she was going through chemo). My Aunt Jany is having the hardest time of all and decided it be best if she stayed home. We definitely missed having both of them with us. I had taken over hosting Christmas for the previous 2 years, but obviously, I had to pass the torch back.

My dad and Kay bought Corbin the Leapster 2 and Tatum got a dress up box and a Zhu Zhu hamster play pet. Zhu Zhu is this years most wanted toy. Priced at $9.99 each, I can see why. But because of that, people were trying to sell these babies on craigslist, Ebay and Amazon for $35+ and being the kind of girl who would never pay more than something is worth, I wouldn't go for it. When Melissa told me that Toys R' Us had a huge shipment in a few days before Christmas, I called my dad and he was able to pick one up (limit one per customer of course).




Cheers to 2009..may 2010 be a better one.
