Day 1085: Molly under the tree

A great day!  Kids in our house!  OK, adult offspring, but still.... Wonderful!  They have so many people to see, especially April's family, that they are busy, busy.  So we did more shopping and wrapping.  I hope that's it! Tomorrow the baking starts.

When we first got Molly nearly seventeen years ago, she was an adorable little kitten who climbed everything and everyone in the house.   If she was on a counter or chair, she'd leap onto my shoulders.  Sometimes, she'd climb up Steve's pant legs.  Whenever anyone visited, she nestled into their laps.  She was nine months old for her first Christmas and it was her favorite day of the year.  Papers, bright lights and baubles, ribbons, presents, laps!  I wrote a children's book based on the photos I took over that holiday season to capture her excitement.  Even at 16 plus, she still loves Christmas.
