Christmas Prep & Shadow

Robin's class at the Christmas Party
The school went to an assisted living facility to sing for the residents and give them each a jingle bell. Robin is the 4th from the tree. I could not get a good photo of him since his class was in the back row and he is the shortest. :)
Auntie Jenn, Uncle Rish & the kids got Robin tickets for Phineas & Ferb Live for his birthday.

Introducing Shadow, our new cat. Originally, R asked Santa to bring us a kitten this year. We decided, as a family, to go pick out the kitten and leave Santa to bring just toys. Although there were smaller kittens there, Shadow's personality fit our family. He was cuddly and playful, and 5 months old. The volunteer at the shelter also said that older kittens and black cats usually don't get adopted. That sealed the deal.
Can you find him in the skeleton snuggie?
Shadow was the perfect name. He follows you wherever you go! Other names in the hat were Gambit, Gotham, Nitro, Ninja, Cutie-Cute, Puma... But in the end, Robin decided.
He did attach himself to me the first few weeks. He would hear me come home at night and come to greet me. When I work on the computer, he is there.
When I sit in the bathroom while R is in the tub, he joins us. I've never had a lap cat before, it's very sweet. He's so soft and his hair is getting super long. You'll see more pics in future posts.
