Christmas bells are ringing


We are getting ready for Christmas here.... not really Ryan is studying and so am I.  I have a statistics exam tomorrow and Ryan's exam is coming up really soon.  I was able to get some Christmas shopping done earlier this month but I have mostly been busy with my studies.  Deya is ready...in fact I have already given her a couple of her Christmas presents.  She has already gotten the play kitchen I got her from the thrift store.  I couldn't resist, she is so happy to cook us all dinner.  She saw it in the thrift store and she knew exactly what it was.  She plays with the play kitchen at Scout and Isaak's house and in nursery every time I go to spy on her she is playing with the play kitchen there as well.  Her specialties are cottage cheese and noodles.  She is also really good to keep your drinks filled and when you ask her for some more food she exclaims "of course!"  Deya has also been referring to all of us as elephants.  It is not an insult, we are merely a family of elephants.  She likes to call herself baby elephant and if I call her Deya she will correct my mistake and make sure that I know she prefers the title baby elephant.  Ryan is of course Daddy elephant, I am Mommy elephant and sometimes I even get to be called super mommy elephant.  I love it especially at night when Deya has to say goodnight to everyone in the house it goes something like this:  "goodnight grandma elephant,  goodnight Rachael elephant, goodnight grandpa elephant, goodnight daddy elephant, goodnight super mommy elephant"  she is such a joy to have around.
