Christmas time again...

It's time to put my Department 56 homes up...I wasn't able to put them all up this year, Tim and I got some new furniture and I don't have the shelf space, however, Tim made me a bigger fireplace mantle so I could put a few of them up!!

It was also time to add Emmett and Pixie to the ever growing number of stocking over our fireplace. Makes me wonder how much weight that mantle can hold!

Maverick and Pixie took some time for a cat nap while Tim and I finished decorating. Maverick makes for the most perfect big brother!

I don't recall there being a huge feline in the Nativity Scene...however Bendi has ideas of her own...

Again, Maverick taking a cat nap. Only this time he was napping with Emmett..."we were ASLEEP mommy"!

Voila, the finished product!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!!!

And so it begins.....

We get out the Christmas Tree and attempt our decorating for the season. Only now we have 8 cats to worry about climbing the tree!!! Yes, Tim and I are crazy for having 8 cats, but they are all special and we love them!

This is the first Christmas for both Emmett and Pixie, so they were really excited about the strange goings on at the Dahl household last night...."what are all these boxes for daddy?"

Tim played with Emmett in the hopes it would satisfy his curiosity about things. It' didn't really work!

Then of course Pixie had to try playing with the garland...

Jessie and Maverick are the quintessential felines...resting under the tree...and thankfully not climbing it! Sammy did that earlier in the decorating process.

Pixie found a new friend...The Grinch!

Bendi made friends with Santa...

Maverick just fell asleep under a beautifully decorated tree!

Hope everyone has a great week and gets into the Christmas spirit by decorating and baking!!
