The Week After Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is now behind us and we are still reminiscing about the delicious meals, car rides and wonderful memories. It was so great to spend time with Cici, SS and Sanfran S. Baby B thoroughly enjoyed every minute with them all! Daddy L and I also enjoyed our day tailgating at the game (especially because of the outcome). It was so neat passing several cars today that still had their Gamecock flags flying. That is definitely the sign of a big win because normally the flags are not flying by the end of the game, much less 3 days later!
Now we are back home and it is time to get ready for Christmas. Barkley got his holiday haircut today. When I picked him up from the groomers, the receptionist said when she opened the door to bring Barkley to me, he crawled right up her body like a cat, he was so ready to leave.
As we now prepare for Christmas, I am reminded the reason for the celebration, because it is so easy to get caught up in this hectic time of year. I heard this song, "It Won't Be Like this for Long," on the radio today. Have you heard it Aunt J? The singer, Darius Rucker, is from Charleston and used to be with Hootie and the Blowfish. It is a good reminder to try to appreciate every moment! It made me kind of sniffly listening to it as I thought about Baby B.
