Christmas Eve in the Bowles house is special for two reasons- not only is it the night Santa makes his visit but it is Grandy's birthday as well. Grandy's other sister, Carlyn came down from Austin for lunch. Not surprisingly given her profession, Carlyn and I read a book. I could not contain myself any longer- there were numerous brightly wrapped presents for me under the tree. I had to start unwrapping one, although have no fear, it was not totally opened until Christmas. As the tradition goes, we then headed downtown out to dinner with all the Bowles, O'Briens and the Lynns. Given the occasion my Santa Suit made a guest appearance. With all the anticapatory excitment surrounding Christmas and the bustling sounds in the restaurant, i took a great nap during dinner. -Don't worry though, i rallied for the later party. Afterwards, everyone came back to Grandy's house for birthday cake and birthday presents. Mrs Lynn was nice enough to spend some time with me on the floor, which i thoroughly enjoyed. I was much too tired for Midnight Mass with Mommy and Poppi, but i have a feeling they put in a good word for me with the man upstairs. I went to bed dreaming of Saint Nick....
