I've been MIA due to being horribly ill for the last month or so. We've had some changes. For one, we got a dog!!! Her name is Lillie and she is 8 years old. She is a Jackchi (Jack Russel and Chihuahua mix). She has really become one of the family. We love her very much.

Dechlan visited Santa this year and he just loved it. He's really excited for Christmas. He really gets Christmas this year. This morning he got to open his gift that Santas elves. Every year, we give him a gift that is from Santas #1 Elf. It's always pjs so that he can look good for Santa. He also gets his stocking Christmas Eve to keep him busy while the adults get things ready for Christmas dinner the next day.

In a few hours we are off to Niagara-On-The-Lake to stay over at my inlaws tonight and spend Christmas with them. I spent all day yesterday baking and I'm 100% ready for tomorrow. I'm fairly excited now!!

So Happy Holidays to you all. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
