Chubby Cheeklets

We made it through Thanksgiving! Mom made pies and Dad made stuffing and fresh green bean casserole, which was why we went to the store so early on Thanksgiving morning.

With a car full of food and baby accouterments, we went out to Mike's place, where we played until we were so sleepy we had to take a nap. Then we came down for dinner, and everyone ate until they were fat and happy. Mom and Dad's food was very well received.

After that, we went outside and had some wine on the deck and then a few more drinks around the fire. It was cold but the fire kept us warm and Miss Fuss slept in the Snugli while less sensible people hooted and hollered through the yard. When we came back, we watched the last bit of the football game on the couch before going to bed.

The next day was a sleepy one, too. Our original plan was to bring Wee Goblin to the Stone Mountain Christmas celebration, but it was gray all day. The moment we decided to leave, it started to rain. Phooey! Mom and Dad were very much looking forward to having Little Monster meet Santa Claus, but the weather prevented us. Maybe this coming weekend.... Instead, we risked the mall, which was okay. Miss Fuss was very well behaved, taking in all the Christmas sights and enjoying the stroller ride.

Today Little Monster has taken two naps, and we'll be heading out to run a few errands when she gets up. Zoe the Cat needs some new food for when Wee Goblin visits Texas again. Dad has a lecture to give at Georgia Tech on Monday and Tuesday, so he wants to get all the minor things taken care of before that. So that's the plan!
