The Bunch Help The Kitty Grow And Get Ready For Christmas

 

My son the giant💗

Things have been very busy at our house. Not only are we getting ready for the holidays, but we have also had 5 basketball games a week plus practice and a newborn kitten who needs a bottle about every three hours, day and night. Even with A, L, and I trading off shifts, we are all still very tired. She is growing really well though. She has gone from about 4oz to 13oz now. Her eyes are open, her ears are up, and she can crawl, though she is pretty wobbly. We cannot wait until sometime in the next week or so when she gains the ability to go to the bathroom without us having to rub her with warm cotton balls.

Noelle was a little more receptive to taking a Santa picture with T.

 A is basically the kittens over protective mommy. She takes the baby, who we named Miracle, back and forth with her to work so she can bottle feed her there and check her weight. As worried as we were with Noelle meeting Maisy, I have to say that with this kitten Maisy couldn't care less. I don't know if it's because she is now almost 14 years old and deaf or if because it's so small, but she'll get down on the floor and chew her bone while the kitten is out getting tummy time on the floor next to her. HOWEVER, Noelle is another matter. She does NOT like this thing that has taken attention away from her. She actually growls at the kitten. However, today she didn't growl. She just sat there and and gave the kitty an death stare so maybe she is getting use to her???

Isn't she getting so big!?! I can actually tell it's a cat now.

L read her the story of the Christmas Kitten.

This week is baking week. Which means I make goodies for D's work, A's work, us, the farrier, the basketball coach, etc.. So far it has been 2 full days of baking and I still have at least two more go. T has been more than willing to taste test my "mistakes".😂 I have almost everything done for the holidays and it feels GREAT! I feel relaxed and ready for the season...kind of. I just need the finishing touches on a couple of things. D has an endoscopy scheduled on the 21st so we aren't sure how he'll feel afterwards so his birthday celebration is probably going to be pretty low key. I'll make him his favorite stuff (which hopefully he can eat) and we'll rent a movie or something. 

T is really into collecting coins so we went to a coin show at his request.

We were totally bored!

L did find a good deal on a cute ring. However, if you don't like to stare at different coins for hours this is not the place for you!

We went to take pictures at the Gaylord. It wasn't as well decorated as I remembered.

My beautiful daughter 💖 I am so proud of the young lady she has become.

My wonderful son. He is such a great person! I am very proud of him.
