Christmas shopping...

Tonight Randy and I went shopping for Annaleen's stocking. We ended up buying her a couple more presents.

Randy picked out a big box of girly legos, and a remote controlled car. Yeah, he wishes Annaleen was a boy apparently. It works because Annaleen is such a tomboy sometimes. I already wrapped all the presents too.

We're having our Christmas on Sunday with Annaleen. She's going on a vacation with her mom's family for Christmas and New Years so we won't see her until January. Sometimes it's just really hard that we don't see her very much. My parents and Megan are coming over and we're going to have a nice lunch, then we'll have to take her back home. All I know is that I am really going to treasure my time with her on Sunday.

We bought her some books and of course we still have all the other presents we've gotten her. She's so spoiled, but it's worth it! I'm just excited to put her stocking together. It really makes me feel like a mom when I do that kind of stuff. It was the same when I put her birthday party together in March. I love that little girl, and I'm so happy that I get to spend time with her!

Before we went shopping we worked all day. We've been craving sushi FOREVER! So we decided to splurge and went to an amazing sushi restaurant called Kinjo's. We used to go all the time, maybe even every week! We walked in there, and the host said WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? He is the funniest guy, and we ended up getting a bunch of free food. I love it there, and all you Calgary people better go! We even were joking with the host that he was going to steal Randy and I said that's fine as long as he brings sushi home with him. It was a really great night! :)

It's nights like these that I really appreciate everything I have, and that even though we're saving our pennies sometimes you just need to throw out the budget and do something nice! Hopefully we'll be able to find another way to make some extra money, but for now I'm a happy woman with my cute little family!

Enough of my blabbering, I just wanted to say I appreciate you blog readers! Please comment and let me know you're here! :) I promise I comment back!

Melissa! I'm so glad you found my blog. All your nice comments made my morning. I was laying in bed when I read them. I'm so glad you enjoy being a step mom. I was wondering the other day if I'd enjoy being a step mom. I think it would be hard, but you seem like you're doing a good job at it!
