We still haven't finished decorating for Christmas! I'm certain we will find the time before Christmas actually gets here! We decided just to put up a smaller tree this year...the main reason? Thomas, one of our kitties, loves to sleep in the tree each year. He makes a point of climbing up, finding a cozy branch and napping until we spot him! Not only does he bend the branches down, but he also plays with the ornaments. Last year, we spent most of December redecorating the tree - it was like a bad scene out of "50 First Dates". We woke up each morning to do the same thing all over again! This year, we just don't have the time or the sanity. We opted for a "potted" Christmas tree. It actually turned out very pretty although it's not what we are used to.
Notice the yellow cat Addie is holding. This is one of her bath-time toys and she has grown quite fond of him. She got very upset last night when I tried to move him from one hand to the other to wash her and then she demanded he go with her when she was all done with her bath. Since then, he has been attached to her...he was covered in grits this morning because she refused to let go during breakfast, he went along for diaper changes, play-time, work-time and accompanied her shopping today. He even stayed with her while she fell asleep...it is really very sweet.
