First 6th Birthday Present

Joe and Kristyn gave Nicholas his first present during the month long celebration called Nicholas' 6th Birthday. We are now the proud owners of a corn snake named Rocky. He looks like a tiger, with different shades of orange and red and black stripes. He is the center of our lives now as he resides in the family room and none of us can stop watching him, including Alli. Alli sits in front of the cage and watches for any sign of movement. Christopher wants to be held right in front of the glass in case anything changes. Nicholas asks every five minutes if he can hold it - the answer being no, not until the next time Uncle Markie is over! Tomorrow Christopher and I will be taking a trip to the pet store to buy frozen mice. Yes, that's right, I just wrote and you did just read the words frozen mice. Enough said.
