Christmas Decorations finally in place!

Kaitlin and I got our Christmas decorations up today - including our new 4 1/2 ft. pre-lit tree. We bought a small tree because of Abby. What kitten doesn't love to play in a Christmas tree? We're giving it about 24 hours before it ends up on the floor. Kaitlin took several pictures of Muffin and Abby laying on the tree skirt under the tree, but the pics are on her camera. Since I can't easily load those to my computer, I'm waiting for her to e-mail me some pics. I'll post them when I can. For now, here are my pics:Can you find the cat in this picture?
Here's a cute sleigh card-holder that I wrapped some holly berry garland around.Here are some reindeer that I've had for almost 20 years. Rudoph is getting a little banged up, but Kaitlin still insists we put them out.This is a buffet cabinet that used to be mom's. We hung some of our bigger ornaments on here since we didn't put our big tree up.
And of course we couldn't put up our decorations without our favorite Christmas CD's. One of my all-time favorites is Mannheim Steamroller "Christmas in the Aire", but I'm partial to Jim Brickman, Garth Brooks, and the new Melissa Etheridge one, but it's in the car and I was too lazy to go get it and include it in my picture. Her song RING THE BELLS is awesome!We are without hot water - AGAIN! It happened earlier this year too! Our fairly new Whirlpool hot water heater had a class action lawsuit against it due to bad thermo-couplings. They paid for one replacement, but we're on our own now. Star Lumber is the only place that carries them here in town, but they are closed today. So, Corby will be at their store tomorrow morning at 7:30 to buy two (so we can keep an extra on hand) and hopefully get it running right away. Thank goodness I am on vacation Monday and Tuesday, as I refuse to go to work without a shower, AND I refuse to take a COLD shower when it's cold outside!

Peace!!!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
