By the way, some of these pictures are darker b/c they were taken with our DVD camcorder...sorry about that:

Bryan & Mikey snuggling:


4 of 6 kitties enjoying Leila's b'day food (she got her own bowl but wouldn't cooperate when I tried to snap her picture while she ate - too much of a lady, I guess):

Bryan likes to lay on our mantle when we have a warm fire going in the fireplace below (With Bryan, sometimes I can't get rid of the red-eye, even though my camera was on the red-eye reduction setting, probably b/c of his beautiful amber eyes):


We had a big ice & snowstorm on 11/30 in our area - I went sledding on 12/3 down the slight slope in our backyard, b/c conditions were perfect, and I'm a kid at heart - after, I brought in some snow for the kitties to eat - Mikey was enjoying it here:


...more to come...
