I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We attended several celebrations and had some great family time.
Grace and Gus got a new kitty tower. It's been difficult to get a picture with both of them on it, because for some reason Gus seems to think it's his and his alone. Every time Grace jumps up on it, he plays King of the Jungle and runs her off. I'm not sure why he's being so possessive about it. My husband, who has a man-cave garage, says Gus must think it's his man-tower. I suggested that maybe he should haul the man-tower out to the man-cave and he and Gus and can hang out there together and bond. Men! lol
And Gus is still carrying around his pet string. If you look closely at the first picture, you can see it laying beside him on the left. And heaven help Grace if she tries to play with that string, cause he doesn't like to share that either. :)
Gus was also a big "help" with gift wrapping this year. :) While I was wrapping, my tissue paper fell to the floor and within about 15 seconds, I heard rustling sounds and looked down to find this:
I also thought I'd share one of my favorite (and easy) recipes. I have to admit that cooking/baking is not one of my favorite activities, so when a friend shared this recipe with me a few years back, I put it high on my list to make, because it's quick and easy, and yet so good. I usually make it for any holiday gathering, and it's always a hit. In fact, my brother, who never eats dessert, loves this cake and always wants some to take home.
