This has been the best few days that I can remember. Granted, I cannot recall much, but these days have been especially splendid. One day I awoke to find that not only was Daddy home, but a tree had mysteriously appeared inside our house. When Mommy made me aware of its presence, I looked at it incredulously, unsure how it had arrived. I slowly realized, however, that the reason was unimportant, and allowed a wry smile to cross my lips as I looked at Daddy. I am still learning his inane language, so I hope that my look conveyed the message "I am nonplussed; yet I approve." It is no ordinary tree, either, as colored lights and, most recently, toys adorn its branches. There is a fence surrounding the tree, so I may not touch more than the tip of its most outstretched branches, but that is enough. I still occasionally point outside, yell "TWEE!" and then point at our new occupant and say "Twee," attempting to explain my wonder. This, along with Daddy's presence, would have made this day a wondrous one, but it got somehow more magical when, after a long, fulfilling nap, I awoke to both GrandMommyServants in my room, and two GrandDaddyServants awaiting my presence near the tree. I expressed my excitement as much as princessly possible, and showed them the tree. I showed my dolls the tree again, too, although I had done so before my nap as well. We ate a meal that included turkeys (they say "bobblebobble." I say that, too, but only when I want milk), but I stuck with mashed potatoes and rolls. We talked about all that we had, all of the things for which we were grateful, and how the food was exceedingly delicious. I stated fervently that I was most grateful for being placed by the window, that I may adequately bend the blinds. The blinds were moved, and I was then grateful for being able to touch the glass. Daddy then put me into my dress with a turkey that was far more palatable than that which was upon the table. Below are photographs from me in my gown providing entertainment to my family. Note how the fence is no longer surrounding the stage, thus giving me a better location to perform for my family and servants.
I was then placed inside of a very comfortable outfit.
Since that first day, I have had Daddy with me all day and have seen each of the GrandServants. On the next day, I went shopping with Mommy and Daddy and two GrandServants. We were gone for hours, but I did not mind as I was sure of two things. Firstly, I was spending the day with my family, and I was grateful for that. Secondly, all things purchased were for me. What use I have for Daddy-sized shirts and a book with paper pages is beyond me, as is why everyone behaved so oddly by hiding their purchases from one another. I saw all of the purchases, and as only some appeared worthwhile, their need for secrecy seemed unnecessary. I know not to where all of those items have gone, but I patiently await their reappearance. I then skipped a nap and played with my other GrandServants. Today I will be seeing all GrandServants once more. All the while, I have been in the presence of the tree quite often. I was even allowed to assist in its decoration.
Daddy let me put the "shtaw" on top.
I am still unsure as to the purpose of the tree, or why there are toys upon its boughs. I would have preferred the toys be in my toy bin that I may properly sort them, but Mommy and Daddy appear unwavering in their belief that the toys remain upon the tree.
