It’s a happy little Christmas. (I tried to get Hiccup in the picture to no avail, but he likes to camp out under the tree and remind me that he’s the greatest good I am ever gonna get.) (at The Dollhouse)

It’s starting to rain, but I’ve planted myself in preparation for Very Merry festivities. Although I’m concerned that if they let it snoap, Main Street is going to turn into the world’s largest slip ‘n’ slide. (at Disney’s Magic Kingdom)
It’s no secret that I love baking, so I ended up baking like a million types of cookies this year.

It hadn’t been shipped in yet, so on Christmas she gave me a picture of Kurt and Blaine in the Lima Bean (from the scene in 2×11, when Blaine is eating biscotti and has hamster cheeks). I was intrigued.
The present arrived. IT WAS THE LIMA BEAN MUG. I about cried.
