My first post this year ! It's strange to write 2010 for 9 years we had to write two zeros and now only one !
I will show you some of the Christmas presents I have got
This was the living room before the gift battle started ! We celebrated in Malmedy (Belgian Ardennes) in an old farmhouse.
and then the unwrapping
Of course I got cats ! The little black one bends in all directions. The beautiful handpainted vase was originally a toilet water sprayer, but I took of the top and put a rose in as I don't use any eau de toilet. It looks very pretty in my room.
The cat face is to put on your luggage with your home adress ! that really came on purpose. I also got this beautiful plate with the two cats sleeping in a ying yang position.
My ears will shine now with these earrings, one in coral and the other with turquoise and zircons. A brooch and a special real rose which doesn't need any water ! Strange, I will see. So far it still looks very fresh.
and here is the battle field after we all had unwrapped our gifts. Dog Jersey is exhausted !
but there are still sweets to eat and wine to drink !

ReplyDeleteI love the cat face and the plate, of course! I'm glad you have a great neighbor who took care of your real babies. When we took our last vacation for 7 days to Washington, D.C. nearly 3 years ago, I boarded 3 cats, one dog, and one ferret at the vet's and it was over $600. They had their own vacation.
