Family time and woodland critters

Joyce, Joe (brother), Frank (brother-in-law) and the retired-guy
We had a fun time at my sister and brother-in-laws home last night. A delicious dinner, home-made pumpkin pie and whipped cream (also home-made) and a game of Rumolli which I lost big-time.

Meet the resident cat, Carmen. Is she not a beauty? She is one of those rare orange females with an enchanting personality, too. She is shy but within minutes I had her posing for a very quick photo. I love this little gal.
I added a few little things to my dining-room today.
I enjoy all the holiday decor but I especially love woodland critters at Christmas. 
Do you remember this photo of Audrey meeting the reindeer for the first time?

We are off to the property to do some measuring. The stairs are in so I'm a happy-camper. I'll show you around the mouse-house next time.

Have a peaceful, fun Sunday, folks.

Stay cozy,
Deb
