Cody has spent most of the late afternoon obsessing over the preparation of his birthday and Christmas lists. Piper is working on only a Christmas list, her birthday has come and gone for the year. Cody also reminded me...no wait I reminded him...the countdown has officially begun, 10 days until his Sweet 16! He will make it! He will make it far beyond his milestone birthday, because he's going for the record! Not sure what the record is for a pug but he's capturing that record nonetheless. Oldest I've heard of for a pug is 15.
Our Thanksgiving was a bit odd this year. Brad was sick and we ended up staying home from the family gathering. Certainly not the Thanksgiving we had geared up for. I had a strong inkling first thing Wednesday morning that Thanksgiving was in jeopardy for us. When Thursday officially arrived it was clear right away Brad did not want to be around everyone being that sick. Therefore, I briefly went to the gathering to drop off the dishes I had promised to take, then returned home to be with Brad. I regret that I didn't circulate around to say hello to all the family, but I was rather distracted with my thoughts of getting back home to my husband. I certainly hope my lack of socializing with all didn't come off as rude in any way, because I was simply preoccupied with thoughts concerning Brad. By the time Saturday rolled around for us, we both looked at each other and said, "did we have Thanksgiving yet?" It just lacked that traditional feel around here.
However, no looking back, on to the Christmas season...time to put up the tree, as soon as we decide where it's going that is. I'm not sure how Brad will manage setting up the tree without his mini foreman of the job? Simon provided a load of expertise on the subject of constructing a Christmas tree each year. Hence the flashback pic below. Simmie we miss you and your stocking will be hung because mommie can't bare to not hang it little man! We hung Storm's the first Christmas after she passed too!
