“She looks like the dark haired woman… from that tv show that was really big?”
Yeah. That’s helpful.

Holiday Wrap-Up.
December 4, 2007 by
We had an amusing weekend – John’s all for getting a Christmas tree at the earliest opportunity, so we went off to our usual tree vendor and got ourselves a fine, fragrant little evergreen.
Here’s a shot of John finishing it off (he loves that I take a picture of his butt every year).
Of course, having a new kitten in the household means some amount of anxiety about trimming a tree. Over the years we have collected a wide variety of ornaments, and we have a system: the really delicate ones go up at the top, and there is a sort of graduated arrangement whereby the sturdiest ones hang at cat-height. The older cats really couldn’t care less about the tree, but we’ve kept to this scheme over the years just in case. At first blush, Milo gave us his most innocent pose:
“Who, me?”
Then he was clearly intrigued:
“Come to meeeee!”
Then there was the tap-tapping of a wee white paw:
And then, well:
“Nom nom nom!!”
That was about the time we decided we didn’t want seed beads in the cat and threw that particular fancy away.
Milo was back to playing Mr. Innocent in no time:
Yeah. He’s getting bigger.
(Knitting content post-script: yes, those are handmade socks. BMFA “Socks that Rock” heavyweight in the “rose quartz” colorway, purchased at Stitches late-ish so I was forced to go out of my usual color comfort zone. I rather love them. They knit up in about three days and I adore the combination of delicate color and sturdy, warm boot-sock).
