FUN Sharing of our Kitties Christmas Day

Hi Sweet Friends!

Hope you all had a Wonderful time with family

during Christmas.

I took a few days off of blogging and the computer just

to rest and be with family.  We have had a good time and

enjoyeded a few fun activities with some friends.

This was how our tree looked Christmas morning brimming

with love goodies for hubby, daughter and myself.

I must admit, I am spoiled! My hubby

loves giving...its a gift that he has and even

though times have been hard, he still wanted to give.

Makes me love him so...

I also could NOT resist showing you some fun pictures.

This year hubby made sure all 3 of our kitties got a gift

CATNIP toys!!! YUM

They go WILD over it. We took many pictures of there

FUN.  It is amazing what affect this herb has on cats.

We laughed quite a bit too.

It truely is a RARE moment to capture all 3 within such

close proximity.  They of course, were checking

out each other's CATNIP toy.

Chloe also fell in love with a PEACOCK feather.  She

would go sit by it, indicating she wanted us to play with her.

The 3 kitties, Tiger, Chloe and Punkin all got their toys before

we opened our gifts.  How much fun it is to see them

frolicking and so playful!

YUMMMY!!! lol

Hope you enjoyed your visit!

Wishing you all a HAPPY NEW Year!

PINK Saturday

Welcome to PINK Saturday!

Today we were asked to share a Christmas Tradition with you.

For our family Christmas is the CELEBRATION

of Jesus' birth.  HE is the Reason we celebrate because

he IS Gods gift to mankind.  Thus, the reason we give

gifts to each other.

When my daughter was quite tiny we wanted to make sure that

our time of opening presents began with the reading of the 1st

Christmas.

I found this darling POP out page book that was unique and

grabbed my little ones attention.  She is now 18 and

we will continue to read this before we open our gifts.

I hope this will be a tradition that she passes on

to her own family when she has them.

Be sure to stop by our hostess Beverly of How Sweet The Sound

and enjoy visiting the other PINK participants!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Sharing More Cute Kitty Pictures!

The animal lover in me enjoys it when our

4 legged cuties pose or sleep or just about any ole

thing they do touches a soft spot in me.

Are you like that...here's some funs pictures

of our furry kitty babies that I have taken lately.

Chloe...LIKES this toy!!!

The patio is there only outdoor domain that we let them enjoy!

They are, for the most part indoor kitties who

love some fresh air once in a while.

AWE....dad's lap..my FAV!!!

Punkin finally left so I could snuggle with dad.

They are just so darn cute!

Okay enough for now....Enjoy and hope these make

you smile like they do me!

Have a great day everyone!

Sharing a FEW Christmas Memories

Hi Friends!

I'd like to share a couple of very special Christmas goodies I

have that have deep sentimental meaning to them.

First...this darling quad of ANGELS that spell out NOEL.

These sweet lil guys were found in a drawer 10 years ago

when we were cleaning out my hubby's family home.

We lost my dear MIL in 1994 and 2 years later my hubby's

dad.  They lived a very simple life without a lot

of things.  So when I found these and was told

to keep them...I didn't ask twice!

So true story...2 years ago I was cleaning and purging,

BIG time...and last year when I went to find these

sweet angel..I COULD NOT find them anywhere.

I feared that in my haste I had put them in a box

to be donated..but I knew they meant more to me and

I just COULDNT have done that, right?

FOUND...this year when I brought out my Creche from my

momma, wrapped up in a bag these all fell out!

I SHREAKED as these were LONG lost treasures and they

were FOUND.

I quickly took them upstairs to my studio and glued them to this sweet box.

I fixed them good and now will NEVER loose them again! lol

This sweet ornament was gifted me too many

years ago that I cannot remember.  But it came from my

now 95 year old grams.

She was so very GREEN before that term was even coined!

It was an old greeting card that she re-used.  She glued toothpicks

and glitter to create a sweet and charming

treasured ornament!

But...most important...she wrote...

From Grandpa and Grandma

This was from a card you sent us a couple of

years ago!

A treasure indeed!

Have a blessed week all!
