Christmas Kitty 2011

Gracie has experienced her 1st Bang Christmas & I think she had a ball!!  She seemed very familiar with the tree, decorations etc & appeared in the living room much more frequently :)    Payton , of course didn't know what to think...as she often took his favorite spot by the window.

                           Gracie now has her own route to the kitchen table......

                           She often stops to inspect what's on the snack counter :(

Once on the kitchen table ...she does a lil cleaning...after she rubs around the plant - which was  from Pud's funeral.....eerie, huh??

                       Pate is always trying to figure out the best position for an ambush :)

She obviously felt very comfortable under the tree - we found her there several different times.

                   The coveted spot....her window to the world.....safe & secure by Trev.

                                  She frolicked w/  the holiday bow I received.

                           And she LOVES her bags - any size...any where :)

                           Pate watched all this from his vantage point on the floor.

         Where he & Kyle were putting the finishing touches  on  a playful Christmas game.....

                         GG was not going to be out done & had holiday wrap too!!

Then it was GAME ON....Pate was underneath the paper & Gracie waited & waited....til..Pate moved a smidgen......... then she went straight up in the air & tore thru the living room & back to her haven in Trev's room...where she remained the rest of the day!!!

Pate was once again KING of the living room & stayed perched on his tower - aka book shelf - & waited for her to again step onto his turf.  Of course, she didn't b/c she was fast asleep on Trev's bed, but Pate was taking no chances :))
