Every time I hear Archie, our four-month-old kitten running up the Christmas palm tree, I am soooo glad we didn't set up a real one. Can you imagine how hard it would be to get him out of those branches?
Every time I hear Archie clamber up the palm tree -- all those bulbs clatter -- Stella comes to wherever we are, bedroom, living room, and we know she's "tattling" (she also does this when Abby jumps up on the counter and eats sausages or cookies or shrimp).I think she's afraid he's going to knock the whole palm tree over and it land on her where she's lying on the couch. Preservation of self, not of tree.
I picked seven ornaments off the floor this morning (good thing I bought a box of cheap plastic ones. I wonder if I'm going to be able to leave the tree up until Tuesday. But doesn't he look cute up there? Our furry little angel.

Dwayne keeps telling Abby and Archie that Santa is only visiting Stella and Fern this year.
