Sorry that I have not posted much lately. I have been hanging out with Sam until she gets adopted. We've been watching Christmas specials and eating tons of popcorn and having so much fun. I am really giong to miss her when she goes to her new home. She is so much more fun to hang around with than Katie. Kendal and Andy are fine, but sometimes a girl needs a girl to hang with.
I hope everyone has been on their best behavior, Santa is watching... speaking of which, I think that mom is going to call Santa and report my human brother Ryan because he is not doing his homework. My mom text messages the elves when the 2 human brothers act up. She never has to report the doll kids, we behave. I think we are so happy to not be all beat up and in good will it helps us with our behavior. You can't list your people kids on Ebay or Etsy, but us doll kids can have happen, and when you are happy you need to show it by behaving.
(I still have nightmares about Goodwill...and the smell...and once again I have to say that I am greatful for the love and the repairs. Thanks Mom!)
We have the outsde decorated, Dad put up his little village and our doll kid tree is decorated, but the big tree is not up yet. I guess Mom and Dad will work on that this week. Mom doesn't like to rush into it. We leave the tree up until Russian Christmas is over. Russian Christmas is on January 7th. Our tree will not be touched until January 8th at the earliest. Mom's ancestors were of Russian Orthodox desent, so my Mom was raised to observe the Russian holiday as well. This means at our home we leave all the decorations up after New Years, and we don't light the outside until January7, and that night we light it all again. We don't do any more gifts, this is a more spiritual observance than a commerical one.
I am looking forward to my first christmas with my new family. I hope we have a great one.
