Doctor, There's a Frog in my Throat

...Clever title for unclever post, but the news is the Bean has altered her Christmas List item #1 from a bunny to a Big Frog, which I assume won't be able to fit in the little tiny box. As we already have two turtles, I am hoping that a giant frog bath toy will suffice. And no, we are not having the dog conversation until I am ready, or until I can outsource said conversation and all subsequent caretaking of said animal.

Hope the holiday season is off to a good start for everyone! We have the tree up, the house decorated, and the holiday shopping well on its way. Plans for baking are in order, and...oh, this all sounds so sunny and organized. Wait until the pre-holiday meltdown post...to be continued...?
