Winter Wonderland and Stuff

Snow is one of the reasons I LOVE Reno.  We got absolutely dumped on this past Sunday/Monday.  Most of the town got a Snow Day, it was a lovely quiet white day. 

Monday Morning


Tuesday's Drive to Work



I threw Maceo in the snow on Monday.  When he landed the snow went "poof"!  It was too cute.  He actually didnt seem to mind.  I think he was distracted by all the birds in the tree!

We also put up our tree this weekend.  We had wanted to go chop our own down (mainly because its only $10 versus the $70 we usual spend) but we ran out of time.  I became VERY emotional when I started to think about all the poor trees that don't get picked every year.  So sad.  Well, we did our part and saved a lovely Silver Tip Pine from an un-happy  holiday.  We decorated it in Matt's favorite style...colored lights and non-matchy bulbs (some things just are not worth a battle). Amazingly enough, I talked him out of tinsel this year.  There is a God!


Meester Mew also got into the Holiday Spirit, well he really didnt have a choice.  Just look at our little chat...is he not fantastic!?






This last pic is my favorite, thats why I made it Extra-Large.  Look at the little spittle on  his lips.  Goo, he melts my heart...little fat cat.

  5. I am actually quite jealous of your snow. Walking around looking at xmas lights in shorts and a tank isn't quite the same as driving around with a cup of hot choc in hand. Maceo.. I love your paws. They are everything I look for in the paws of a cat.
