Today was another busy exciting day. Oliver woke up and went to visit his Bhuta. He was excited to see him, and is happy to have him at home again. Oliver went for a run with Mama and Ranger and then did some holiday errands. We went to the Golden Baked Ham store and waited in a long line-it wrapped around the building. Oliver was a little firecracker--everyone in line was in good spirits and was laughing at all the funny things Oliver was doing! (They were also nice enough to save my place in line, since I had to get out of line often....)

We went to the library to drop off and pick up some books, and then went to pick up Patches to bring her home. Aunt Jessica is going to Switzerland for 2 weeks (lucky-duck), so Patches is going to stay with us for awhile.

Oliver got to see all of his family today. He loved showing Bhuta our new singing snowmen, and playing with Grandma, and kissing Aunt Katy, and making funny howling noises with Uncle Joey.

At dinner at his Grammie and Grandpa's house. He had fun running around playing with his kitchen, opening a present with a "live Elmo" he was a little scared of it, eating dinner with everyone. We had a great time.

He is sleeping soundly in between Mama and Daddy and has warm Patches at his feet. We are listening for Santa and his reindeer tonite!
