Christmas Before Thanksgiving?

Guess what? Mommy, Granddaddy, Grammy and I went to the mall the other night to see them light a giant Christmas tree! Daddy had to work. :-(

First, we had dinner (PBJ for me, thank you very much!). Then, we walked around to some of the stores while a barbershop men's choir sang songs next to the tree. A nice lady was handing out plastic sticks that light up to all of the children and she gave me one, too!

Then, when we sat down to rest, a boy came over from a candy shop and gave us all free caramel suckers! They lasted a long, long time! I also found out that they stick to your mittens if you're not careful!

Finally, at 7:00 p.m., the BIG MOMENT was here... Mommy gave me a boost onto her shoulder so I could see over the people's heads. Then, we all counted...10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and the tree lit up with hundreds and hundreds of different-colored lights! It was so pretty! The choir sang Christmas songs and we had so much fun!

Today, I got to spend the afternoon with Granddaddy and Grammy because they had the day off from work. I even get to spend the night with them, so Mommy and Grandmommy can get an early start cooking in the morning! I'm going to watch the parades on TV with Granddaddy.

Then, we're all going to have the family Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow afternoon at our house! This year, they're going to let me eat some grown-up food like everybody else!

Happy Turkey Day!

Love,
