This Christmas was hard.
It was the first
without my dad. It was also the first without my brother (he's moved to Winnipeg). It was Jordan's first without his mom and his brother (they were on a trip together).
I tried to stay upbeat and positive, mostly I faked it until I could make it. I think for the most part people believed that I was in good spirits, and that put me in a better mood then I would have been otherwise.
I had a lot of lists.. I always do, but this year it felt a bit more mechanical. That helped get through I think...task lists...accomplishing things.
To distract myself, I made a lot of Christmas gifts this year. We also spent a lot - but instead of telling you how much we spent (I don't 100% know just yet... haven't added up all the receipts), I would like to share with you some photo's of my creations...
