Bonjour,

Bonnie slept much better last night and seems to be feeling better today.

Today, we had a girls' day out. Lenell picked Bonnie and I up at 8:00
this morning. We met Tammy in town. Lenell and Tammy had to run a
couple errands in the downtown area. Then, they had a dermatologist
appointment. Bonnie and I looked around in the stores below the
doctor's office. Then, we went to Orca, a big store with a little bit
of everything. After that, we were ready for lunch. We tried an
Italian restaurant where none of us had been. It had pretty gardens,
and the food was good too. We went back to the other side of town where
we had left Tammy's vehicle. We went to two more stores that were right
there.

There is going to be a Christmas party at the Machs' house next Friday.
So, I got all of the presents for that today. Bonnie was a good
shopper. She preferred the pouch over the stroller.

Joe kept the boys at home today. They had a good day too. They played
outside this morning. They cleaned the pool and then went swimming.
Just as they went down for naps, it started raining hard. Gilbert
doesn't like the sound of the rain on the tin roof.

Bonnie and I got home around 17:00. Gilbert wanted to see the
presents. He thinks that it surely must be time to open presents. The
tree has been up for five whole days! I told him we had to wait for
Christmas day. He said, "It's Christmas already, Mom. See our tree."

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
