A Busy Holiday Season Thus Far

Thanksgiving has already come and gone, and we have begun looking forward to Christmas!
I had a great Thanksgiving at Mimi and Papa's house.  They had so many new toys for me to play with and everybody had a great time with me running around everywhere.  For the most part, Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing.  I was worried that it would be really cold in Chicago and I wouldn't have the opportunity to go outside and play, but I got to go outside a couple of times, when it wasn't raining of course!  Mimi and Papa took me down to the beach one day to play on the playground and I also enjoyed running around their backyard.  As long as I had my coat and hat on the cold didn't bother me at all.  
All of my meals were really delicious.  I ate so much it was so good.  Thankfully, I am a growing girl so I could eat as much as I wanted.
We have been making preparations around the house for Christmas.  Daddy started by hanging Christmas lights on the house which make it look so pretty. Then, this weekend we went in search of the Young family Christmas tree. It wasn't as magical as last year because it wasn't snowing outside. but it was a beautiful, warm sunny day which is hard to complain about.  After the nice tree man put the tree on the top of the car, we drove it home.  Daddy did a great job setting up the tree, and after all of the limbs settled, it turned out to be a VERY nice tree.  In the evening, we decorated the tree.  I helped Mommy put the first ornament on the tree and then I helped put all of the boxes away after the tree was decorated.  The tree looks beautiful.  Daddy built a nice stand for the tree to keep it higher off the ground hopefully I won't get into trouble.
Now that we are all decorated and ready for the holiday, we can just sit back, relax, listen to Christmas music and wait to see how many gifts under the tree are for me!!!
