Mom has been baking all sorts of birthday treats … she even baked some special cookies in the shape of bones for me! Mom’s twin granddaughters came out today and helped decorate some of the people treats. That was lots of fun because they drop cookies a lot. We all hung out in the kitchen to help.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There are boxes wrapped in pretty paper under my birthday tree. Mom won’t let me sniff them because she is afraid I’ll chew on them. I told her I wouldn’t chew them … unless of course they have food in them or they are made of wood!!! The twins told me that my name is on some of the packages … I am not sure how they know because I don’t think they can read any better than I can … they are only 3 years old!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mom told me that Granny Pat is coming to our house for my birthday party. She also told me that if I am VERY GOOD she would give me a piece of prime rib for my birthday! Ooooooo …. being good is soooo hard … I hope I can be good so I can get prime rib!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Slurps,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nick<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
