This Christmas is different from all the ones that have passed. My brother is now engaged, and his fiancee is talking about holding Christmas dinner at their place. My mom moved farther away from my dad and where we used to live, so the prospect of seeing my dad's family and going to my old church doesn't seem too promising. Not to mention seeing some of my old friends. But on the other hand, we have actual money to buy people lots of nice presents. I love spending money on other people! Yesterday we paid off the Disney trip for Brennan. I made an invitation from Mickey Mouse to put on Brennan's present (WDW guide book for kids, by kids). I don't think he'll really understand the gift, but I'm excited about it anyway! The day after Thanksgiving, I wrapped all the presents, put up and decorated the tree, and decorated the house. I got my heavy duty Kitchenaid stand mixer (my Christmas present from Matt), and have made lots of baked goods, all of which have been devoured shortly after coming out of the oven. Speaking of that, I think I will go make some cookies to bring to Paul's tonight. We're going to his place to watch the Bills game. We were offered to go to the game with some friends from church on Christmas eve, but we will be out of town. Bummer for Matt! I'll try to post some pics of our festive home and baked goods if I think of it!
