It's Christmas!

Yes, it truly is!  The day celebrated as the day our Savior was born.

Today I was woken before 6:00 A.M. by an enthused sister quite ready to open presents, and, indeed just as excited, to give presents to other that she herself had picked out and helped pay for!  As soon as I was able to remain coherent, I was up and about as well.  Christmas only comes once a year!  After all presents were opened we got ready in our fine gowns [ ;) ]  and headed off to church for a Sunday morning service!  Quite lovely indeed!
Peradventure I will later have pictures of some of my wonderful gifts, but as of now I do not.  A small list will suffice ^_^            New video editing software; a stuffed Pascal from Tangled; a scrapbook; a Doctor Who sonic screwdriver and T-shirt; a cup with kitty cats on it; a new watch; and sparkly lotion stuff.  *grin*  It's been a lovely day so far!  Hopefully later on we'll put in some Doctor Who episodes ....   ^_^

Kitty Cats!

Here are a few more of the pictures I took of the kitties :)

Sparkles, my old and rather grumpy cat (though I love him all the same),  and Rory, my new and fluffy kitten.  Rory thinks they are BFFs, though Sparkles is not certain.  However, they share one rather important interest - kitty treats!  That is what they are looking at in that picture.  Of course they aren't looking at me.

Amelia truly wanted no part of this.  I think she slept several hours after her first photography experience.  For all her prettiness, it was quite hard to get a picture of her that was not blurry.

And Rory.  He is so pretty!  I affectionately call him fuzzy snuggles.

Christmas Card

So this year, on October 31st, we brought home two new kittens!!!   I don't have super great pictures of them even still, but this week I took some Christmas pictures of the kitties.  Not surprisingly, they didn't fancy staying still for a whole 1/500th of a second.  These were, possibly, the best I had of each.  Though I had another very good one of Rory (that I haven't cropped/edited yet) it didn't quite show his Santa coat!  Isn't he adorable?  The very essence of adorableness.  It's so fluffy!   

                               Rory

Amelia                                       Sparkles

                          

Notes:

1. Rory did not like the Santa coat.  He got his paws out of it, then when I put them back in he growled.

2. Amelia hissed several times when I tried to get her to wear that ribbon.  She also tried to pick it up in her mouth and run away with it.  She must not have realized it was attached to her anyway.

3. Sparkles can be bribed with treats.

4. Rory thinks he can be bribed, but really only goes to get the treat and not do his part of the agreement.

5. Mom tried to help by keeping the kitty cats interested.  Yet Amelia wanted that bow off.  NOW.  Sparkles and Rory, well, let's just say they were more interested in the food than the camera.
