Vladi & The Shoe

Vladi and Lesley's sneaker.

Grrrr

Sniff, sniff, sniff,...

I'm not sure that was a good idea.

Hi Tanji, I hear you know,
about playing with mom's shoes.

Merry Christmas

Sleigh Ride
(8" x 12" acrylic on board)

(hold on Vladi, Tanji just saw the Da-Bird)

I woke this morning and looked to the east,
my eyes opened wide as I saw,...

the sky aglow.

I lept from bed, grabbed the camera, and rushed
out into the frosted dark morning.

The moon was still lighting the sky to the west.

Mary's Peak had received some snow during the night.

The Eastern sky reflected on the "Vernal Pond."

Note: I have not enhanced the colors of the sky, it was this amazing!
What a coincidence that Lesley's painting for today has a colorful sky.

I went back into the sleeping house and curled up on
the couch,... my excitement to head outside woke the
boys, who were now ripping around the house.

Tanji worshiped our new holiday night-light.

Through the darkness of the house I captured,

Uschi visiting the light too.

Later we opened a few gifts.

I've got this one,...

this one too,...

Tanji ripped around on the paper,...

Uschi went inside,... and

peeked out.

What is next ?

My turn to go under the paper,...

Get him Uschi,...

This paper-induced wrestling went on
for an hour or so.

What fun we have.

Merry Christmas !

Christmas Eve

Can we open this yet??

Its Christmas Eve,
and we arranged our presents in the boys' window.

This is Vladi's first Christmas and we're pretty sure
wrapped presents are going to be a big hit with him.

Uschi is close by to give some advice...

Hey !!! We're not suppose to do that,...

Vladi examined each present carefully...

Is this one for me?

Tanji arrives to check out the boxes too...

and the T-V wrestling match begins.

You should see what they are doing down there!!
I'm the GOOD cat and deserve lots of presents...

Let's start with this one...

Uschi is getting a little excited...

They're MINE, all MINE!

Uschi naps in the sun while keeping
an eye on his stash of goodies.

Later we bring out our little Christmas tree,
and wait to see Vladi's response to his first plastic tree...

Interesting, very interesting.

Tanji admires the lights
and we all wait for Uschi's response...

BORING! Let's get some boxes open!

Soon Uschi;
Santa will be here soon!

Vladi's Cat Cup

T & U showed no interest in the yellow and green cat cup,

until Vladi arrived and started curling up in/on it.

Tanji curls up in the cat cup.

Vladi tries to take back his basket.

This is my cat cup !

Tanji tries to defend the cup,

but Vladi is persistent.

How about a hug ?

V drags T out of the cup,

and attacks.

T defends himself.

V-man has regained the cup,...

Can't we share ?

NO !

The cat cup is mine,
ALL MINE !

Helpful Tanji

Lesley was busy putting music on her iPod,

when Tanji joined her efforts.

This looks like a nice spot.

I hadn't planned on this,...

That's a good spot.

Nice smile Tanji.

Hey, those are my paws.

Tickle, tickle, tickle

I like helping my mom.
