I had purchased some red fleece a while back for something (I don’t remember what), so I decided to make Munchkin some new pjs. Once I had the pjs made, Munchkin said that they looked like a Santa outfit except they didn’t have white. I pulled out some white scraps that we had and put on the cuffs. Munchkin loved her new cozy pjs and felt all set for Christmas. On Thanksgiving Day, I put up the Christmas tree (pre-lit), but I didn’t get the decorations down. By that point, I wasn’t feeling very well, so we cuddled a bit…

We thank God that he was able to enjoy a good meal even though he wasn’t here.
