Kitty Carolers

Who loves Christmas? Kitties love Christmas!!!

It took a little while to get Buttercup warmed up, but she can't resist a little "12 Days of Christmas."



Monkey wasn't about to pass up her 15 minutes of fame... We find her soprano tones to be especially nice this time of year. Enjoy!



Merry Christmas from Richard, Reenie, Buttercup, Monkey, and Scout (who prefers not to sing)!

Kitty Christmas Costumes

Okay, I can't pass up a cute kitty costume, especially when they come with two pieces! Target had a couple cute Christmas options, a reindeer and an elf. The elf costume was a little too hard to keep on the kitties, so we took turns with the reindeer hat.

Buttercup was very cooperative with the hat. Isn't she cute?

Scout is not thrilled with the costume. Doesn't she look like Robin Hood?

Monkey observes the shenanigans from the safety of the tree.

Richard demonstrates the hat for Monkey. She remains unconvinced.

Decorating for Christmas

Last year we got a new pre-lit Christmas tree, which was soooooo much easier than having to string all of those lights! Since this tree was a couple feet taller than our other trees, the snowman decorations didn't seem to fill it up. So this year we decided to combine two trees into one. We now have a snowman / bird tree. I think it looks pretty!

We decided to keep the more delicate ornaments up towards the top, and the softer ornaments on the bottom. Well, it's a good thing we did....

(Scout wonders, "Why would they put my new toys all the way up here?")
