Because it wasn't very crowded (not a lot of people go to the grocery store the day after Thanksgiving), we let Little Buddy have another chance at driving his own cart. He did so much better this time! He stayed with us, loaded his cart with the items we gave him (and not just with what he grabbed off the shelves himself), and said "cuuuuuse me" to each person he passed. He was so adorable, he even charmed a bakery lady into giving him a cookie.
Just another day; eating cookies and shopping for fruit.
After a good nap, during which Momma did school work and Daddy hung Christmas lights, Little Buddy and Daddy went outside to play while I finished working on my readings. They had a lot of fun outside and Little Buddy was quite the photographer and took a lot of pictures. His favorite subject to photograph was his best buddy, Chesney.
Future photographer!
Daddy and Little Buddy!
Also, because Little Buddy had been such a fan of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (he couldn't stop going on about how they made toast and popcorn for their dinner), we let him watch the A Charlie Brown Christmas while we started decorating inside the house. I think he has a new favorite cartoon!
Loves "Tarly Brown" and "Noopy"!
We finished our day with the introduction of a new family tradition. We had gotten Little Buddy an Elf on the Shelf at the end of the holiday season last year and are excited to introduce him to the fun this year. For those that don't know, the Elf on the Shelf is a book with an accompanying doll. The story explains that every day from Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, each family's scout elf
watches over the children and then at night, once everyone goes to bed,
the elf flies back to the North Pole to report back to Santa about what
activities, good and bad, took place throughout the day. Before the
family wakes up each morning, the scout elf flies back from the North
Pole and hides. By hiding in a new spot each morning around the house,
the scout elf and the family play an on-going game of hide and seek. Little Buddy is still a little young to understand the "reporting to Santa" part, but I think he will get a kick out of looking for the elf each morning. The elf normally gets into some type of "mischief" for the kids to find. I am really excited!
Daddy, Little Buddy, and "Pat" the elf (Little Buddy picked his name) reading Elf on the Shelf.
Momma and Little Buddy reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, the book Grammy and Pop-Pop recorded for him. He loves to hear their voices!
It was a great day hanging around the house together, but I know Little Buddy is excited to see his friends tomorrow and watch the Ohio State Game!
Good night and Go Bucks!
