Wrapping, and Vet Trips, and Cookies... Oh My!

First off let me start by reminding you (incase it has kind of snuck up on you like it has on me!) Christmas is in 3 days! My goodness, where did December go! That being said, this week has been crazy busy for us, so thankful that with my Christmas schedule at work I only had one shift this week, there was just so much going on! Monday night I finished up wrapping all of the gifts. We're really downsizing Christmas this year, we're saving as much as we can in the hopes of buying our first home in 2014! I LOVE this wrapping paper that I picked up at Target... I love anything chevron, and the cardinals on the trees were just too cute not to pick up! 



Thursday our kittens were spayed and neutered. Foxy is the calico female, and Nimbus is the Siamese looking male. Two littermates, from a black barn cat, who look nothing alike! They are pretty much inseparable though. Both are super playful and cuddly and we love them to bits (when they aren't busy being a pain in the butt!). They travel well together in the car, Nimbus talks the whole way but that is nothing new, he chats your ear off at home too!




 Our vet is in my hometown so I went out to my parents place and just stayed there for the day... which means I got to see Bella! My sweet girl loves her some Timbits, so on my way out I stopped and grabbed some for her. She knows too... as soon as I walk in the door I'm greeted with this face:





Now you tell me; how do you say no to that? Even if you did she's getting those warm soft bits of tasty donut anyway, because her next move is shoving her head in my purse. I never said my sweet girl had manners!
When I finally got the kittens home (with strict instructions that they were NOT to play, run, jump etc.), this about summed up our evening:


Fighting to keep the collar on Foxy (which Saturday morning we had to cut off of her, crazy girl had somehow gotten BOTH front legs stuck in the collar in an attempt to get the darned thing off). As for no playing, running, or jumping.. As I write this the two of them are tearing around the apartment, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Friday night I had a Christmas Cookie Swap! Now, when you're a nurse, and most of your friends are too... evenings do not guarantee people are not at work.. So it was a small gathering but we had fun none the less! I found super cute free printables to decorate the place a little, and then it was time to eat cookies!


Abby even came dressed in her Christmas best! Love this girl, she always makes me laugh! We were far too busy talking the rest of the night to remember to take pictures, next year there will be more!


Also as a side note, my Christmas gift from Abby might be my favourite this year:


People know me too well: Forget diamonds, wine is this girls best friend! Love it! You can buy them at most home stores or you can order here online. They also have the Chillsner for beer (which has vents so you can drink through it... no more warm beer at summer time backyard gatherings!). Great idea!
