Busy day with M & A. This morning, we visited our friends Pat and Cheryl K., and Cheryl’s husband Yaron, who have a lovely Christmas tree and a house full of decorations. We brought some cookies and had a great time talking and catching up. Thank you, Pat, for Mole Music and Caps for Sale! We read Caps for Sale tonight.

In the afternoon, we had a fun playdate with Lily, and then afterwards we drove back to Pat’s neighborhood to check out a house that has a crazy amount of Christmas lights and decorations. We could barely get close to it because of the number of people pulled up to see the lights. There is also a house across the street with a lot of inflatable characters, including Elmo. Then we went to Buppie’s for a yummy dinner and ice cream sandwiches.

M said 2 memorable things today:

1) She has been saying that she doesn’t want to be a mommy. I asked her why, and she said that it didn’t seem like very much fun.

2) After going potty at Lily’s house, M was taking a while to pull up her panties, tights and skirt. She looked at me and said,"I’ve got a lot of layers going on!"

Here are some photos of Pat and Cheryl and the girls, inflatable Elmo and the house with all the lights.
