Dear Lorelai,

Thanksgiving was great! We really enjoyed it. The pies we made together turned out awesome! After we ate dinner we took a nap so we would be well rested to go shopping that night at midnight. I was gong to try to find a babysitter so you didn't have to stay up so late to go shopping with me, but the only people who have ever babysat you (Wela & Becca) were both working the sale. So we got to Walmart at about 9:45 so Wela could be at work on time. We walked around to see where they had all the good stuff put at. While we were there we saw Casey, Kelly & Jose. Casey hung out with us for most of the night until she had to leave with her mom. Kelly and Jose had never been to a midnight sale before, so t was funny to see their reactions. When Wela went on lunch at about 2:30 she drove us home. You keep saying you didn't want to go home, you wanted to stay and help Wela work and shop some more. Since you were such a good baby and you were so patient while we waited and waited and waited and shopped, I went ahead and gave you one of the DVDs I got you for a Christmas present. You opened up the movie, The Land Before Time: Great Adventures, and you were so excited. You really have been liking dinosaurs lately. I got you and your cousins a bunch of great presents for Christmas. I can't wait to give them to y'all. On Saturday we are gong to go to the Christmas Parade in the morning and we might go to Santa's Village that evening. Well, I guess that's about it for this week. Love you lots, baby!

Love,
Mommy
