Over the river and through the woods, to my mother's house we went again this year, there to spend Christmas with my mother, brother Jim and his wife Paulette, and my favorite cousin, Kathy (one of Gracie's favorite humans :-)





Okay Lucy, all we have to do is lay quietly and they'll start giving us presents.

No problem!
I'll just practice my perky expectant look.



The heck with perky, I'll try hopelessly pitiful.

Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas came more than once a year?
