it's almost vacation time!!!

my Mom will be home for two whole weeks! i am so happy to know that. she says we'll sleep in most days and that she'll make sure, every day, that she makes a lap for me where she can read and rub my tummy at the same time. oh i can't wait!

Christmas is going to be different this year. almost no presents. my Mom says we don't need more "stuff" and i guess she's right. we just need each other. my aunt Barbara and uncle Glenn will come over for a big dinner and my mom's friend Gwen and her son Ron will come over too. so it will be nice - six people plus me and Casey. maybe they won't be too loud and rowdy and i might be able to actually be downstairs instead of upstairs under the bed.

my Mom and Gwen went shopping today. my Mom got a winter hat! she's never had one before, but a lot of her hair is still missing and she's really cold a lot so she decided it might be a good idea. it's black and fuzzy and i think it's really cool. or warm. i just hope it helps her stay warm, she shivers a lot.

we're supposed to get a big snowstorm, i hope not. snow is messy and makes it hard to walk around outside and i miss it when i can't go in the yard.

that's all for now. i'm gonna help my Mom fold some laundry. it's all warm and soft and maybe i can sit in it a little!
