Another lovely Christmas with my family. Dinner was terrific, lots of nice presents, and best of all, Sam was here. Can't really say he was "home" because his home is Brooklyn now with Devon (who was at her parents' house). Katie was happy to have him. Mom and I did most of the cooking and cleaning, so we're both exhausted. I spent most of today resting.
Meowy Christmas from Rory!

Some of my presents and stocking goodies. The Epcot shaped case filled with makeup was something I wanted (an Ulta exclusive), but was sold out- Katie found it for me!

No new dolls this Christmas, but I got five outfits. I spent today trying them out on the dolls. I also bought pajamas for Corinne and Gwynn. I wasn't expecting them to arrive for Christmas, but they did, and I wrapped them in a gift bag for them to "open".

Claudie's dress isn't really part of her collection. It was a Harlem Fashion Row "inspired by Claudie" set (like her flapper dress). I'd wanted Kaya's Winter outfit for years!

Happy first night of Kwanzaa from Makena!

Tomorrow I have my follow-up with my oncologist. It's coming up on five years since my diagnosis, so I wonder if he'll order scans and/or blood tests. I'm nervous. I still have worries about relapse, even though I've had no sign of it happening. We'll see. Dad and I are going to lunch and do some shopping after.
I'm dog sitting Maisie on New Year's Eve. Yay. At least Mom and Dad are taking me to dinner, and anyway I get paid- doll money! I want to get the GOTY 2023, Kavita, but I'm going to wait a bit.
