… I am ready for Christmas II (with my dad’s side of the family) … Yep, the house is in order, presents made and wrapped (I can FINALLY put away my wrapping paper for the year), laundry ALL caught up (no small feat with a family our size), puppy photo-shoot/correspondence complete for the week … just a little baking to be done tonight and I am ready to enjoy the festivities …Whew!  Another deadline met!

Next week –  I will spend some much needed time in the studio and … slowly begin the monumental task of organizing our taxes.  But for now – a much deserved family fun day!  Bring it!!
