We had our Christmas get together with my mom and Paul this weekend. The kids were busy coloring and looking at the Christmas village when we heard a little “mew” from the sliding door.

This little fella was outside, shivering and trying to get attention.

After going back and forth on what to do with him, my mom and I hopped in the car and headed around the corner to ask a neighbor if she was missing a cat. She wasn’t. My mom then called a friend who was involved with a pet rescue, amazingly she said she could get a home for him if we could catch him.

Armed with meatloaf and Paul’s gloves, I headed outside and coaxed the little guy out from under the deck. I missed him the first time I tried to grab him, but was successful the second. My mom helped get him in a cardboard box and we brought him inside.

Warm, fed and ready to go to a new family for Christmas!

After THAT adventure, we got down to the business of dinner and presents!

The kids loved playing with the real cameras too.

Cassidy still loves her duckies!

Such a memorable Christmas get together :)
