Christmas is almost here

Well, we are having Christmas Eve at our new house and we are so very excited. We have been burning in the fireplace. It is such a wonderful little fireplace and looks lovely. Dixie Dog has been staying with us for the past week and she and Liesl are having a great time. Liesl has someone she thinks she can boss around and Dixie gets lots of loving and petting from her. Very Symbiotic. Presents have been rolling in on the UPS truck all week long because of course I work such crazy hours  and only have the 24th off due to sheer luck and with picking Liesl up each night from her Oma's houses I dont have time to go to the stores. But nevermind that, I think I get much more done and am far less pressured while shopping at my desk at work :)

Liesl has been trying to break into the boxes with her gifts all week. She is getting so many fun things that I am thinking of just putting all of her other things away for Christmas morning. This is gonna be a really exciting Christmas and she is so excited about Santa and knows all about him and all of the Reindeer names and everything Santa. She has quite a few Christmas Carols to memory like Frost the "noman" and Jingle Bells and maybe another I cannot remember. She is primed and ready to go. I think on Christmas eve I am going make sure that all of her new toys are all put together and set out so it makes the maximum impact.

Christmas Eve we will be having 16 people over for dinner. We have the banquet table all set up in my studio and all the games ready to go! It is gonna be a blast. I hope everyone has a great time.

Merry Christmas!
