we took a 2 hour nap this afternoon, too.

Daddy has been lighting the pellet stove to keep us warm. Our apartment is pretty drafty. We can see light around our front door.

It's always been cold in here and Mom and Dad were afraid to light the stove because they were afraid I'd touch it and burn myself.

Well Dad and I went to Home Depot the other day and picked out a gate to put in front of the stove to make sure I don't accidentally touch it.

Now I just have to keep reminding Mom and Dad that it's hot and they shouldn't touch it either.

Then this evening we went out to see the light display in a park up North. It was outside in the rain and we had to walk through, but it was so pretty that it didn't matter. At the top of one of the trails Santa gave me a candy cane. Mom and Dad didn't let me eat it yet. I really like the mint flavor, though.

When we got home we each got to open one Christmas present.

I opened a new book!

I was so excited that I got up after opening it and headed to the closest chair so Daddy could read it to me.

I LOVE books! Especially the ones with flaps that I can open while Mom and Dad read the words.

Rusty had opened a new ball for me while we were out yesterday, so Mom and Dad tried to hide it in the cat room, but I can climb the gates now, and I did to go get it. That was no problem.

The real challenge came when Mom and Dad said it was time to go to bed. I wanted to take the ball, the book and my juice up with me, but I couldn't figure out how to get all 3 in my arms.

I decided that if I finished my juice before I went up, that would simplify things a little bit. Then I realized it would be hard to play ball in bed, so I chose to bring my book.

Daddy said that was a good choice.
