A mouse house

Today I slept in til 9:30am. I had made some noises every now and then didn't really wake up until Mommy and Daddy came to check on me. I was so happy to see them both.

Today was a lot more prep for the party. Cleaning, organizing the boxes in the living room, and the plan was to get some inside decorating done too. Mommy and Daddy moved some stuff up to the attic while I watched from my crib. They brought more clothes into my room. Then they put me in my swing in the living room and I watched them sort through a bunch of stuff. They did a really good job cleaning out all the junk that was in there to make room for all the Christmas junk from the shed. I was such a good boy. I just watched from my swing and eventually even took a cat nap.

When I woke up, Mommy let me out of the swing and I was going to help her put up the Christmas tree. She pulled the tree stand out of the box and the bottom part of the tree and started fanning out the branches. Then she noticed that there was a big pile of fuzz in the middle part of the tree. She told Daddy that she thought a mouse had gotten into the box and build a nest in the tree while it was in the shed! OH NO! So she took the tree outside.

We also watched the Redskins game so Mommy dressed me in my Redskins gear. They lost. Oh well, I still looked good.

I got to pet Salem today. He kept coming up to me and rubbing against me on the fire place hearth. He would purr and I liked it.

Later in the evening we got some bad news. Great Aunt Marian had passed away. We had just seen here for Thanksgiving. She had played with my toes and I had made her smile. She will be missed.
