Christmas is on the way!

So while the big, fat cat sat (on the little bench Grandpa bought for small grandchildren to sit on) and watched the birds trying to get to their winter feeders . . .

the dog was being helpful and entertainingwhile the children helped get the decorations out of the boxes and ready to hang on the tree with care . . .

The fat Santa Chef went in on the kitchen counter to watch the feast preparations . . . .

and at last, the tree is up and dressed with lots of beautiful lights and lots of sentimental ornaments . . . .
