I haven’t been up to much lately. Nothing noteworthy, but I have been getting a lot done. I am so close to having ALL of my Christmas shopping done!! That’s right, you heard me – I am almost done with Christmas shopping. I know that some people get a kick out of shopping on and after black Friday, I am not one of those people. We try so hard every single year to get all of our Christmas shopping done before then. Then we get to spend the weekend that we would have spent fighting with the masses to very calmly and nicely put up our Christmas decorations.



But the thing that Santa REALLY wants to get her (but is still trying to convince Daddy Santa) is this:

In case you haven’t been watching cartoons and aren’t bombarded with toy commercials – this is the Rose Petal Cottage. It’s 4 ft tall and a live playhouse for little ones. It comes with the stove, seen here, but you can buy the chair, kitchen, washer and dryer, and nursery separately. It is so cute. One of Chloe’s favorite things is playing house with her dolls and she uses the little people doll house right now, but I can just see her playing house in this and having an active role in it.
