Christmas Present

This is Vera being a not so good kitty and climbing our Christmas Tree. I guess she thinks she is the christmas present!

I couldn't resist getting in some snap shots before I had to get her out of the tree. Hmm, Christmas card next year?

Shadow

I had one of Vera on this rug, so when Shadow was playing on it I had to get some photos of her too! :)

More than best friends

Who would have though that we would ever get to this point.

So glad that they love each other this much!

Gingerbread house

In 2009 Matt had to make a sample gingerbread house for the Hull Library and Candy Factory Gingerbread house competition. After that, I wanted to make that a tradition that we did each year. This is our 3rd year making a gingerbread house!

I really love decorating the gingerbread house!

This year we had a little trouble with Shadow, she loves sugar and tried multiple times to eat the gingerbread house.

Doesn't it look scrumptious!

Final product!

1st Christmas Tree in new house!!

Matt's mom gives us an ornament every year. Right now our tree looks a little bare, but just give us a few more years!

Hanging my favorite ornament from my mother-in-law

Vera has already claimed under the tree as her spot. We have even caught her climbing it a couple of times! Shadow on the other hand, just likes to gnaw at the branches.
