It was a good day for shopping but it is not over yet. Tonight me and Maggie need to get some finishing touches for next weeks dinner. 

Today Adam did the honor of buying a big turkey, a variety of creamy cheese cakes, a vegetable platter, variety of seasoned crackers and some croissants! I am so anxious to make Maggie a ham and cheese Croissant as she has never tried one, well not one here in USA! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH ADAM!! It was very nice of him to make this contribution to the dinner. I think he could have spent his hard earned gift cards on something for himself, but he is very selfless person. 

Kevin came over to harass Aunt Maggie and fixed our lava lamp. We had a nice visit with him today too. Then he headed for Greenbay for the show tonight. After the show is done David is meeting up with them at 2am to give Kevin a ride back to town. I hope Kevin drives because I think David is going to be tired, he is coming in from Oklahoma!

The holidays are coming up fast, but no fret, Traci is on the ball and has already sent me a Christmas list for her, Dan and Kelli. Now we need one from the boys! 

GRAMMA IS COMING! GRAMMA IS COMING! Did I mention, GRAMMA IS COMING??  We are so excited about this and so is she. David will be picking her up in Chicago (ewe) feel bad for anyone having to drive into that mess, but this woman is worth it.
