My Lil' Firecrackers...

Happy Birthday U S A!

Ice Ice, Baby...

So happy to spend a happy holiday weekend with the marvelous Peterson clan.  

Happy Crimmus 2014...

By all accounts Christmas 2014 was a good one.

Over The River, and Past The Lake...

Who ordered the White Christmas?!  Right on cue, which made for an interesting and slow commute out to Grandma's house.  Once finally there. the girls and I took holiday flowers to the cemetery before dinner.

A Merry Brunch...

Started out my Christmas morning having brunch at my friend's house. The pic doesn't do it justice. Picture perfect Xmas morning: peaceful snow falling, holiday tunes playing, tree twinkling, "fire' roaring, hot chai and cooking smells from the kitchen.  Happy Birthday Santa!

Santa Paws...

Santa was very good to the kitties this year... even factoring in the five weeks of #MitTheShit this past Summer!  I guess he was able to turn things around and get on the Nice Kitty list! Although, I think next year the big man in red should just save money and bring empty boxes.  Their favorite gifts.  Again.

Souper Dooper...

Every year the Peterson's have a Christmas Soup Party. This year was no different.  Bowls full of deliciousness surrounded by some of my most favorite people.  Oh, and cake balls. (Can't forget those!)  No better way to officially kick off the holiday!  

Meowy Crimmus!...

Mit & Mo... and Mac...

This Christmas cousin Mac came to visit.  Just a hunch, but I don't think they are that fond of him.  In all actuality, my little nephew is obsessed with my cats, so I decided he deserved a little tuxedo furkid of his own.  Purr-fect idea!

Brrrrrrrr Its Cold In Here...

The furnace at Trolley Manor went out right before Christmas, and we had to survive four whole days without heat.  Blankets and iPad fireplaces helped (some more than other)-- but once the warm air came back, the kitties found their permanent spot for a few days.  And all was well in the kingdom once again! 

Calendar Girls...

Every year I give my mom and sister-in-law a calendar for Christmas.

 (Thanks Shutterfly!)  It's become a tradition.

This year we had a fun photo shoot for 2013's holidays.  

Enjoy some of the results!
