Poor Molly! She arrived in the middle of an attack of a horrible

stomach virus. The whole house was out for the count for over a week.

I just ha energy to unpack Molly and make her comfortable while we

wallowed in germs. She got to christen Deb's bed that I got. Luckily

it wa very comfortable and she was such a kind guest while we were sick.

Once we were among the living, we got to take Molly out and about.

Connor (my 23 month old) refused to sit still for a picture with Molly.

(I think he may have been jealous!) but my niece Sophia was more than

happy to have dinner with her.

Molly came with us to pick out our Christmas tree. She sat in some to

let us know how comfortable it was! She is very familiar with the pine

tree! She also helped us decorate the house and tree (you know, those

antlers really come in handy for holding lights!). She really liked

hanging out in the villiage and playing Christmas tunes with the snowmen

The last big adventure was going to Turtle Back Zoo for their holiday

light show. She had a ball riding the carousel with us, seeing all the

animals, and checking out the lights. She was a little homesick for her

moose family, but the fun made up for it.

Finally before she left, Molly picked out some goodies to bring home

with her and we settled her into her box. She had a bit of an extended

stay. I hope she has a great time in MD! You will be missed Molly!
