Happy Birthday Mia!

One year ago today we brought the cutest little kitten home!  Scott wasn't keen on the idea, but let me tell you, Mia has won him over (even if he won't admit it!). She has been such a blessing for me. Mia keeps me company when Scott is studying, which is a lot! Happy Birthday to my little furbaby!

Mia Monday

I've decided, in an effort to post on this blog more often, I'm instituting Mia Mondays. What are Mia Mondays, you might ask? It' the day I post a picture of my cat. Yes, I am THAT person. Get over it.

This photo is from the first week we got her. I don't think she had a name at this point. I was indecisive. We called her Little Bit, Miss Priss, Little One... you get the picture. I wish she was still this little. sigh. But don't let that sweet facade fool you. She was and still is a little spitfire.  

Everyone will have to forgive me for these self indulgent posts.

Next up... Scott Saturdays anyone?

Christmas | 2012

All our presents are wrapped and stowed safely under the tree. Two pecan pies are cooling on the counter and Scott is playing dodgeball with his friends. Yup, it is definitely Christmas Eve.

Here's a little peek around our house this Christmas. 

 I used boughs from our Christmas tree all around our house to decorate. Scott was concerned that a spider was hiding in the ones above our bed though.

 

Fake tree in our bedroom which is Mia's favorite toy. Thankfully, I put non breakable ornaments on the tree. She achieved her goal and knocked it over yesterday.

 

 Christmas balls and wine corks for fillers.

Told you they were wrapped!

My mom gives us ornaments each year. This is mine.

 And this is Scott's! (shocker, right?)

 Mia loves Christmas too! 

Merry Christmas!
