While Daddy went to play poker with his buddies, Mommy and Charlotte went out for dinner with some of Mommy's friends from high school. A few members of Mommy’s WTW high school group (Heather and Leslie) met up with Norm Vincent’s high school games group at Swiss Chalet in Pickering. Every year the guys meet on the last Friday just before Christmas—-we thought it would be a nice idea for our two groups to get together. Hopefully more gals will be able to attend next year. Mommy has seen a few of these fellows since graduating high school—-Mommy can hardly believe that she graduated high school almost 30 years ago. In some ways, it just seems like yesterday and yet it almost seems like a lifetime ago. Charlotte sat at the head of the table and enjoyed all the attention—-she was quite taken with taking food off Leslie’s plate despite the food in front of her. Charlotte won the Kinderprize centrepiece for being the youngest at our table grouping.

On the way to Old Navy, Charlotte fell asleep but was wide awake when the car stopped and was quite eager for her next adventure. Charlotte was really good sitting in the stroller at Old Navy, waving and saying "hi" to everyone that passed by. While Mommy was shopping at Walmart, Charlotte moved her jacket into such a position so that she could put her head down and lie down in the shopping cart. Charlotte didn’t fall asleep, but she looked really relaxed. Eventually, Charlotte began to fuss, likely wanting the comfort of her own bed to fall asleep, so we headed home. We didn’t get home until after 11 pm.
Charlotte had a long day—-Mommy was sure that Charlotte would sleep until late tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be another busy day--'tis the season.
