merry November






Gigi is here for a visit, and Dennis is so excited to be with her! She came to see us before she heads off to the UK for her vacation. This is our Christmas with her, since she will be gone for the holidays. Dennis told her he had a surprise present for her as he ran out to meet her at her car, and then he announced what it was: a birdhouse that he painted for her.

Since it's our Christmas with her, we decided to take advantage of Santa's early arrival at his workshop at Bass Pro Shop in Prattville. We saw lights and trees, snowmen and reindeer, busy elves, and the Big Guy himself. Dennis told him he only wanted one thing (but we didn't hear what it was), so later he had to go back and tell him some things he forgot about. We wrote a letter (Dennis signed his own name--I'm so proud!) and put it in the mailbox there with direct delivery to the North Pole. Dennis watched a Christmas train going around the tracks, played some archery games, and made a reindeer ornament. He had a WONDERFUL time, and we enjoyed watching him have such a good time.
