Chase is incredibly excited about his birthday, even more excited than about Christmas. When he got to Nanaw's house on Tuesday morning, he played with his kitchen and the new kitchen things he bought at Dollar Tree on Monday. The little plastic bowl for his toy mixer was missing, and Nanaw said they would have to find it. Chase opened the oven of the kitchen and then sang the announcement music because the bowl was in the oven. What a kid! Nanaw went grocery shopping and bought an 18-pound Mr. Tom Turkey for Christmas dinner -- small enough that she could lift it into the refrigerator -- not like the 24 pound Thanksgiving turkey that everybody had to help her with. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, Mrs. Herrmann told her how excited he was about his birthday tomorrow. On the way home from school, Chase fell asleep in the car. When they got home, Nanaw took him into Pawpaw's room. He laid down on the bed and fell back asleep. Sidney Crosby the Cat jumped up on the bed, curled up next to Chase, and fell asleep. It was very cute. When Nanaw took Chase home, Mama wasn't there. She was at her hair appointment. Daddy said he and Chase were going to the bowling team's Christmas party and that Chase would be playing video games.
