Well, Santa arrived at the mouse-house and made sure the stockings were full to the brim.
After a hardy breakfast I headed out to make sure Simon, the squirrels and the birds got some Christmas treats.
And then with a van loaded down with gifts, we headed to my daughter's home for the gathering of our family. Not one snowflake in sight.

at home with the kitties (only Annie would pose) then off to my daughter's home. Plenty of smiles there.
Lots of cuties here.
