New Year's Eve

We found Butchie like this after Kate went to bed. Glad that wasn't us! We went to Quinn and Katie's for some low-key festivities. Kate enjoyed hanging out with Oskar and Sadie
and trying on Sadie's dress-up shoes
Oskar 7, Sadie 5, Kate 2

Vermont

We packed up for VT the day after Christmas. We needed to get out of Dodge early because a blizzard was heading to Boston. We grabbed the Dom and jumped in the car!
Why the Dom? To celebrate Steve's sister Donna and her boyfriend Andy's Christmas Eve engagement! We are so happy for them
One of our first orders of business? Cookies with Grammie!
The blizzard wasn't too far behind us...we spent the 1st day homebound
So beautiful!!

Snow fun


Snow Angels!



It is a tough winter up there, but beautiful.

Christmas Day

The doll house was a huge hit!But the lollipops were the biggest hit. She has been talking about Santa bringing her lollipops for a month now (even asked the dentist to email Santa with the go-ahead). Now it is my unpleasant job to ration them! We let her have 3 straight away...



Santa brought a cat hat for baby sister

Oh, Butchie


Her play with the doll house revolved around her cats using the bathroom and getting dressed/undressed
Relaxing on Xmas morning

Green pancakes!

Strawberry topping
Beautiful!

Santa left lollipops in the bar as well!!
Stocking!
Santa gave Kate the doll house and Mama and Papa gave her a xylophone. She loved it!
Note the fawn. lol
Mama has since spent hours playing with Kate and her doll house. She like to lead...
Butchie gets in on the action
"Mama, they are at the restaurant (resta-ron-ent). They like to eat without clothes better"
Goodnight, cat family. Thanks for the Critters, Auntie Missy and Uncle Josh!





Good night, all
