Today was a pretty fun, relaxing day, except for the fact that Mom wasn’t feeling too well in the morning. Dad got up with me and together we unpacked from our week in Dow, with a special focus on getting out all of my new toys!
We made a mid-day trip to Whole Foods to pick up some apples and oats to make oatmeal for me and also some soup for Mom.
Around 4:00 we headed out for (another) Christmas dinner! Nana is still in Syria and Uncle D is going to visit us for a week in January, so it was just me, Mom, Dad, and Grandpa Yagan — a totally different experience from the festivities in Dow. Mom’s and Dad’s friend, Mike, is spending a week as a chef at an awesome restaurant in Chicago, Vivere. He stayed at our house while we were in Dow, so as a thank-you, he invited us for dinner — which he helped cook!
It was definitely the fanciest restaurant I’ve ever been to and the longest meal I’ve ever had. Everyone was in a great mood and I even witnessed Grandpa drink wine (along with Mom & Dad, of course)! The food looked so good. Of course, all I got were Morning O’s and some veggies. It was so fun to get quality time with Grandpa and to see him in such a good mood!
