Oh My Goodness!

With the humans away, I thought someone should take charge. It's only fair, a bit of balance and order is a nice thing. But these kittens! They have no respect!

They decided to have a game of wrestle the Christmas Tree! All three of them!

They were chewing and climbing and falling and meowing and pulling and all the craziness!

Send help! Muuuuuuuummmmmmmm!!!!!

I don't know how much longer I can maintain my tenuous grip on control!

The Tale of Blitzen in the Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

How lovely are your branches.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

How lovely are your branches,

In summer sun or winter snow,

A coat of green you always show.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

How lovely are your branches.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

Your gentle spirit teaches us.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

Your your gentle spirit teaches us.

That peace and love shall ever be

As faithful as a Christmas Tree.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

Your gentle spirit teaches us. - German trad.

I hope you're having as much fun this Christmas as I am!

Our tree!

I had an important duty this weekend. I had to snoopervise the putting up of the Christmas tree. And do you know what I think? Mum would have been lost without me! These are our start that look like sea anenomes. They get to be up with the real star of this show- me! See me in the portrait? Mum used the instructions of the amazingly talented Lori Marie from Pretty Little Things. Her site is just beautiful. She made a portrait of her beautiful pup Matilda on Martha Stewart! Mum was quite happy with how this one turned out. Suey's on the other hand looked like the offspring of a worried cat and a koala!

This is our butterfly. He has to stay up high, because he is too fragile to face off against me.

This is our kiwi. Each year, mum and dad get an ornament to mark the year. This one shows the year they went to New Zealand to see mum's family.

This is our tree frog. We got him to mark our time in Townsville, because there are lots of tree frogs around!:)

This is our reindeer. I like him! He hangs out up high, so I can't chew on his pointy bits.

This is our new peacock. We are Not Allowed to touch him, and he stays right at the top, just under our star.

He has beads and real feathers. And he is super lucky that we don't climb the tree! He sits on the branches so we can't see him from down low.

It was lots of fun decorating the tree. When are you putting yours up?

We hit a snag with our cards. When mum got the quote, they told her they would be ready in a week. When she took the order in, it had gone up to two. So we're a little behind schedule this year. But they are coming!:)
