The World According to Bella

My stocking has been hung by the chimney with care.

I'm hoping to be on Santa's good list. 

• I 've tried really hard to use more self control even though I'm guilty of counter surfing 
• I've not bothered Mrs. S too early in the morning for breakfast so she could sleep in
• I've shared my ball with Mulligan at the park
• Not once have I made Mr. C stop for me on our very long rides to the lake

I know I should work on my silent begging stuff especially when Mrs. S is cooking. 

Mrs. S helped me with my list. We mailed it off this week. I'm hoping Santa won't think its too long. 

Mrs. S found this gift for Mulligan. And I added it to my list. 

I am counting down the days till Christmas Eve. 

  Love, Bella
