Grown-Up Christmas List

Dear Santa,
I've tried to be a really good girl this year. I have high hopes that I'm on your nice list. Janelle and I will be sure and leave you some extra good cookies on Christmas Eve and some carrot sticks for all your reindeer. I am so grateful for many things particularly during this Christmas season. I'm especially grateful for my family who I love dearly and the home that we live in. While I try not to dwell too much on worldly pleasures, there are two things this year that would make me pretty happy.

The first one is the Nikon D70 SLR. My newfound passion in life is photography. One of these days I would like to take pictures as a career. But first I need a camera and a few photography classes. Having this camera would push me a little more in the right direction towards my goal.

Secondly, our family desperately needs a new table. Our trusty folding table has endured years of good use. However, as our family is growing our needs are also growing to a sturdier table with at least 6 chairs. My poor preschool kids have to be reminded constantly to quiet their squirmy little bodies in order to avoid folding chair accidents. Spencer has had more than one spill with the chairs. It's clearly time to move on from our last piece of college furniture.

So there are two ideas for Janelle and Spencer's mommy. I would be perfectly happy with either of them. Thanks for listening. I know you and your elves are hard at work this time of year. Merry Christmas!!!

Sincerely,
Laura

Laura, how were the prices at the Dump? Are they pretty good?? I've passed by there dozens of times and wondered if I should stop.

Emily- It was fun going to the Dump. Although we realized to really get the good deals you have to get there the first thing on Friday when they open, because the good deals get snagged up really fast. Some of the items are incredible deals, others not so much.

Sam has a Nikon N75 SLR and loves it. He got it last year for Christmas. It is a neat little toy. I hope you get your presents!
