wowsers. the week is finally over. it was such a long day. lots of meetings at work. i thought i would have a free day today, but NO. and then one of the meetings really dissolved into a 4 hour deal. i was just beat by the end of the day.

but still managed to find time and energy to go hang with M and D. we went out to dinner at Panera bread - YUM. and then we went to go see the xmas lights house up close. pretty elaborate. pretty cool.

the best part were the stuffed figures from the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer tv special starring Burl Ives. i had no idea they made them into plush toys!

donut the kitty is running around like a mad cat. which is good - he needs the exercise.
