Dear Anne,
ReplyDeleteit makes my heart sing to see your kitties with the Christmas tree. How exiting is that for them. The crackling silk papers, new smells on the boxes and funny ornaments to play. A big tree in the room to hide and to play. You all will have a gorgeour Christmas time. I would love to cuddle the cats right now. So supersweet faces.
Hugs and greetings, Johanna

ReplyDeletePretty tree! I put mine up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I just couldn't wait! My kitties have thoroughly enjoyed knocking the ornaments off and of course climbing the tree! Lol. It's great to see them having such fun!
Oh yes, kitties just love the crackle of paper and anything different to sit upon!
ReplyDeleteHappy decorating!

You have a little fur in your tree too! Looking very merry!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful feline pretties you have shared with us. They just melt my heart. Happy December!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is very pretty against your red wall (love that color). Your little 'elves' are staying busy, I see, supervising all the activity. So sweet! I love your sweet surprises in the mail and I will hop over and visit your friends. Happy decorating with the elves! xx

That was so sweet of you, and deeply appreciated.Seeing your tree, reminds me, that I had better get a move on it! ~Happy decorating!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Advent calendar! My favorite kind.
We had the tree up a week before decorating it....
Oh, btw I finally said thank you for my l'il vulture. I'm out of photo space, but I copied your picture..which was much better than any I could get! Thanks again.
Again, you've written a post that I have thoroughly enjoyed! I loved seeing how everyone, two and four legged is involved in the decorating and all your lovely and fun things that have come via mail!
ReplyDeleteI hope your weekend is ending on a good note--Take care!!
Ah, your place looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteMy cats love the tree skirt, too...something about being hidden under the tree and the softness of the fabric, I guess...haha!
We have dug out the long johns here. Of course we are closer to the north pole and Santa. Lovely tree, Sweet cats, that painting is stunning!! The advent calendar is so pretty too.
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling and creating.
Your tree is beautiful and I love the plates on your wall. It is fun seeing your kitty's helping unpack the ornaments...they have such cute faces. And your mail today...what a treat. The cat painting is awesome. A treasured gift for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't like missing ANY of your posts, beautiful friend...so here I am...late, but here! :))
ReplyDeleteThese photos are precious...including your "menfolk" who is helping so lovingly...
I can feel the warmth and love at your home, dear Anne!
Thank you for sharing these lovelies...now to catch up...here I go!
Big hugs,
