Christmas and Phone dump

Happy New Year! I hope 2014 has been good to you so far.

Here's a few pics from our family Christmas.  Why is it that I never seem to get enough pictures??  Just too busy drinking cocktails having fun.

We had a great time laughing with my side of the fam, and lovin' on my sisters kiddo's.  Here are the sweet twins.  They absolutely love sitting down for a book.  The thing is, you have to read it fast, because they'll hop up and get another before you get to the end.



Here's Kadyn in the bath.  Such a cutie with that huge smile!!!!



After a long Christmas day, this sweet boy was not ready to leave everyone and go to bed. With tears in his eyes he walked up to whatahusband and said, "Will you please read me a story before bed?"

"Of course! Pick out a book and let's go."

Well, Skyler picked out the longest, smallest print book you've ever seen. (Whatahusband walked right into that one, eh?) The Jungle Book for kids. But he faithfully read every word in his booming baritone voice. And was even corrected a few times by the pronunciation police. "No, no, you say it mow-glee, Uncle Russell. MOW-GUH-LEE."




Back at the ranch, my little kitty killers are keeping warm by trying to catch birds. They are usually WAY to far away to actually reach them, but they still try. On new years eve, this pile of feathers showed up outside our doorway. They got a cardinal!



All three of them were huddled around the pile of feathers, proudly showing us that they infact were the ones responsible for this.  Munch and Toonces had feathers stuck in their fur. I was so happy for them!



They licked the feathers for hours. Getting every last drop I suppose. haha

On New years eve night, Whatahusband proved that he is the cat whisperer.  They flocked to him like he had catnip cologne. It's only a matter of time before we are "the cat people" - heaven help us.




And finally, this super cold weather has been WICKED...we are miserable.  We huddle up at night and drink hot cocoa, praying for summer and worrying about our cats outside. Ok, so I worry about them. I know they're fine, but it's so cold!! I want to sneak them into the laundry room, but I always get caught. The only one I'm not worried about is this long haired girl - - she has grown this amazing winter coat, and she is constanly pearching on the lawn mower or kitty house showing it off.  We just love her!!
