Catching up… ( Lots of photos )

When I was going through my photos I realised there were some I wanted to use on my blog but other things needed to be posted first..
Each year I try to get Lacy to sit for a Christmas shoot…

She is not very agreeable…

  20. Love that Blog banner. It is giving me ideas. LOL.
    The pup is cute in the hat. My daughter + kids put theirs into an elf suit yesterday, fortunately when I was there. It was very cute, and Millie didn't seem to mind. Especially when there was a treat. I can't see my cat letting me put anything at all on her!
