While I'm extremely happy that we had that money to fall back on when we needed it I'm upset that "Santa" can't afford to give a certain little 4 year old girl the Christmas we had hoped for. She's asked for a couple of big items this year that I really wanted her to have like a Barbie Dream house (aka any kind of doll house because she doesn't know the difference) and a new bicycle. I really want to be able to get her both plus a few smaller things, but I know things don't always go as planned as in this instance.
I was sitting here trying to plan out what we can afford to buy with what money we have left knowing I have to buy presents for two this year (although buying for the baby isn't a big thing) when I got a text from my sister. She found a lady having a yard sale who had a brand new in box Disney High School Musical 3 doll house
for $3. Yes, I said THREE DOLLARS! *Pretends I'm happy dancing to music under the strobing lights of a chauvet slim par 38!*Of course I snatched that thing up. Yes it's a few years old in terms of when it came out, but it's brand new in box. I have absolutely no problem with that, especially with a rambunctious 4 year old who tends to destroy everything. She had a few of the High School Musical dolls
new in box, too, for $2 a piece, so she'll get the dolls, dollhouse, and I'll be able to afford the bicycle and a few smaller items now, too. That made my day.
