Oliver

Meet Oliver, a 1 year old Ragdoll cat and guess what?? 
This adorable little kitty is now all mine!

Justin recently started working at a new job and his hours are longer than his old job. It gets kinda lonely all by myself for hours on end so Justin decided that I needed a little friend. 

Oliver's former family were moving and sadly they had to find him a new home. So long story short his new home is with us!

I have never had a cat before since my mom is allergic to cats so this is all a new adventure for me. Thankfully Justin grew up with a few cats during his childhood so he knows the ins-and-outs of caring for them.

Oliver has the cutest little paws. All of them are white on the toes. Like teeny tiny socks!

He is also playful and decided that my camera strap would be awesome to wrestle with and chew.

Oliver has the prettiest blue eyes. I have never seen a cat in person with such stunning blues.

It's very nice to have somebody hanging out with me who really loves snuggles!

Such a cutie!

And here is my favorite photo of him sleeping on my fuzzy brown blanket. 


********************************************************************************

Don't worry about Percy though! He is still very much a spoiled bunny. He isn't as cuddly and snuggly as I had hoped for when we originally brought him home but I still love him so very much. Oliver is making up for the missed cuddles- but Percy is still my sweet guy. 

We have not let Percy roam the house yet outside of his cage as we are letting Oliver get used to the apartment. We plan to let them sniff and check each other out soon freely. They have met through Percy's cage walls between them so I'm hoping they are gradually getting used to each other. We plan to be very careful when and if we ever allow them free roaming time together. If they don't get along we will just put Oliver in a separate room while Percy gets his run-around-the-house time.

Love, Rebecca

Our Little Christmas Tree

Justin putting the lights on our tiny tree.

He wanted colored lights this year.

Putting on the ornaments

I'm more of a fan of white lights but doing these neon ones are very pretty.

I took this photo with a longer exposure so I could catch the starburst effect off of the lights.

A little gold ornament

Sparkly snowflake ornament we found at a dollar store

All done!!

Thanksgiving 2015!


I hope all my readers who celebrated Thanksgiving had a lovely and yummy day! 
We did things a little bit different this year and us married kids brought some food and desserts and were in charge of precooking certain parts of the meal. I think it worked out better that way. There is only so much room in the oven or on the stove!

The kids table! 

The kids-at-heart table!

After the delicious meal Collin and Molly took a cat nap.

Everyone pitched in to help clean up.

Katelyn sneaking a cookie, "I can't help it!" she told me, "they are SOOOO GOOD."

Caleb with his paw-tner in crime.

Justin brought along his N64 and introduced my siblings to some classic Nintendo.

I'm learning how to crotchet thanks to Youtube tutorials and my mom!

Janierra had to work (so not fair!) but she was able to swing by for some food and dessert. 

breaking out all the pies

My sister knows which pie is the best- peanutbutter pie!!

Matthew wanted some of Sarah's homemade Oreo cheesecake

When the desserts were safely tucked into our bellies we were able to decorate the Christmas tree!

She really liked this glass snowflake 

This ornament is older than Katelyn!  

Look how pretty that tree is!
