Keepin' Cozy

Since we didn't get the kids again until the weekend AFTER Thanksgiving we decided to be REALLY early this year and set up our Christmas tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. The kids were so excited to decorate their first Christmas tree of the year. Not to mention that this is our first tree as a family.

There's this fat little cat named Chet. He's been here for eight years and the kids LOVE him. He's an outdoor cat mind you, so he's not incredibly good at being inside. Well, since there was snow outside and "Poor little fat Chet was freezing" we brought him inside for a bit. You actually can't se how fat he is in these pictures, but trust me...he's HUGE!
