On Wednesday night December 7th, we all met at a grill your own steaks place called "Hookers". It is a nice place on the Wisconsin River, not that it matters at this time of the year. The occasion was Uncle Jon's birthday. It smelled marvelous in there but I had arrived with a full tummy so just smiled and cooed and drooled for everyone. And now to the "together" part, they all knew it was an occasion, and they all knew that
I would be there but no one brought a camera. Now this together family has five digital cameras but no pictures that night. Anyway, we had a great time. My Grandma was so pleased as she got to hold me while Mom ate, at least part of her meal, and I didn't cry or fuss or anything. They had a great time and I did too.
Mom knew Grandma would want some new photo so she emailed her one of my up to date shots. I'm having a good time here too, playing with my "Paddington".
I'm going to Grandma and Grandpa Landmann's house for Christmas Eve. I'm wearing my special "Santa" suit that Patty gave me, don't you think I look cute? We've just arrived and everyone is very excited to see me again. This should be a really fun day. Something always smell good at Grandma's. Ummm! I think I smell ham and cookies.
