Decorations

Put up the tree & decorations today.

She's going to be trouble with this tree...

Thanksgiving

I had a pretty delicious Thanksgiving; I'm still eating leftovers!

 After dinner, my grandpa challenged the family to a game of Chinese Checkers. 

Squeaker

She doesn't meow, she just sort of squeaks a lot...

Inku is a squeaker

Cake Bites

 

I got the idea from my sister-in-law, Emmi.  First, I made a chocolate cake from scratch and chocolate butter frosting from scratch.  Then I crumbled the cake into a bowl & mixed in the frosting by hand.  Then, I rolled balls of cake and coated them with hard vanilla candy coating & topped with gold & silver sprinkles. Bakerella.com makes this look incredibly appealing & effortless, but she has had a lot of practice.  I don't know if I'll ever make these again, due to the considerable effort & resulting mess. 

Made some chocolate cake bites today.

Getting along

Two cat balls, cuddled @ the top of the stairs.

Inku likes to look in on Daniel when he's using the computer.

& then she falls asleep up there...

Love it.

So far...

Trout & Inku are starting to play together with less hissing and growling than before! Inku really likes sprinting at & around Trout. Trout is too fat to keep up with her & she is able to hide in small places that he can't reach.

While I was @ work yesterday, it they grew even more accustomed to one another!
Inku is so much fun when she sleeps. She is very different than Trout in that she lays in all sorts of different positions & she is not easily woken. In fact, you can rearrange her paws if you like!
Last night, they both slept with us on the bed. :)
