Tired Thomas

After a long evening of playing with Christmas decorations, Thomas is exhausted. Caught him mid yawn. Either that, or he's coughing up a hairball.

I am very pleased that our Christmas tree is - as of right this moment - still standing. I mentioned in a previous picture that we haven't put up a tree in years, since inevitably the cats try to climb it. Well, I'm really happy that we decided to put one up this year and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it stays standing.

It was a nice evening. My husband put up the tree and lights while I made some fun finger foods for dinner and listened to Christmas music. After dinner, I added all the little decorations to the tree which is my favourite part.

* it bothers me a little bit that only his nose is in focus, but didn't have time to adjust my settings...
