The stocking is hung by the chimney with care (after being chewed a bit), the Christmas cards are sent, the tree is up (and Petra knows it's called a Christmas tree), the lights are twinkling. I guess it really is time for the holidays! Petra's already gone to 4 holiday parties, and been a big hit at each (and has, for the most part, been a wonderful little girl through all of them. Though you can see from the picture that she is a bit "spirited" sometimes!). Next we'll have to make some Xmas cookies! Having a baby around really does make you appreciate the holidays more (or again?). Everything is new and exciting!
Daddy finally managed to finish assembling Petra's rocking horse. Long delayed since all my tools were stolen, we finally saved up enough to replace the critical ones and get it built. Bought paint yesterday, and will start sanding and painting tonight. With the primer, base, details, and clear lacquer coat each taking a day to dry, it should just BARELY be done in time for Xmas morning. If the blog get's a little confusing from here on, blame the paint fumes!
