Tanya's Daily Scoop
NEXT TRIP DEPARTS IN: 23 DAYS
Holiday Events and Cheer!
Hi there!
So as of yesterday there were 4 things left to do before Christmas and after a bit of scheduling drama and a few headaches, we managed to complete 2 out of the 4. YAY!
We went tree shopping and then came home and got to decorating. The girlies (Mika & Chaplin) were so excited and had so much fun!
I'm glad that the tree is up and that we don't have to squeeze in tree shopping to the rest of our hectic schedule.
In order to make this happen last night, Dominic had to forgo his classes. And since he didn't want to miss out on the tree shopping - that is exactly what he chose to do. (Since no one else was being flexible with their schedule!)

Trimming the tree was plenty of fun, and after another full day which included going to the stables! It sure is a HORSEY-LIFE!
