Hooka unwrapping present...xmas eve dinner update...

here's video from Christmas of Hooka opening her gift from Gma C. Weezie got one too.

here is the present handmade (w/ "special" cat nip that makes every cat insane) by Gma C:

we had an extra one for Monkey & Trinie. they loved theirs too! when we went up for dinner there on xmas eve, there were tufts of red felt everywhere. poor santa.

J & S made an excellent dinner. i was going to take pictures but i forgot most of them. i got 2 though! we also had alaska salmon, mushroom risotto and a fresh ceasar. dessert was a molten chocolate lava cake. S & i had vanilla ice cream with mine but N and J ate theirs straight.
Artichokes...

i changed the tree topper this year from the old silver star to this clear glass snowflake that hangs from the ceiling. i like how it catches the light. someday we'll find something cool with lights for the topper. otherwise it's too dark up there.
