Today is Tim's 25th birthday. He wanted chocolate mousse for dessert.

Jake thought he might like some "chocolate mouse" also..... he was waiting for his candle!

I was sitting at the computer upstairs when I saw this visitor outside. It was just dusk; and fortunately, Peter had already brought Jake inside.

Priscilla and Bob had a Holiday Party between Christmas and New Year's....
