Let's try to flush out the identity of your Secret Santa by addressing the llama in his own language. Someone will surely correct my poor French and Voila! Your Secret Santa will be revealed, llama and all.

Mon name est nurseangel. Comment t'appelles-tu? Je suis sur la plage avec mes Butterbean lama! Comment lamas aves-vous?

I'm still waiting for the next bit of mine...not very patiently, but I am waiting.

Nearly perfect! A few little mistakes which I won't bother with, but I think you are asking "combien de llamas avez-vous?" (How many llamas do you have?) By the way, here is a link to llama breeders in France, in case anyone is interested.

So you guys are going to think I'm crazy, but my daughter was in a parade last Saturday, and guess what was right behind her group?!!!!!

Yep, Llamas. (or maybe alpacas...) But...what is the chance of that?

Danielle, I just arrived home from our cruise and saw that you received your SS stuff. I'm glad you liked everything.
You have one more gift but before I can send it I'm waiting on the sex of your baby.
Once I know that I will finish it up and ship it out.

I don't know...either way I'm waiting for confirmation that my SS is who I think it is before I open, but just for fun, here's my box sitting under my tree (which conveniently went up yesterday) taunting me.

And my decidedly lightside cats who are currently sleeping off their dinner which was served just before my parcel arrived.

Ummm.... I can confirm that at any time.



Yes, I did open my gifts and have pics uploaded.
I need to send Katie a proper thank you before I share and since we are supposed to get dumped with snow tomorrow, I'm trying to get some things done first.

Cat tissues! Where do you find this stuff. Classic!
What a nice idea to make those recipe cards! Love those tissues.
And that card is adorable, it's totally Steve and Gigi!!!

The Canada Onesie. Can't wait to put this one on her!

Hope you can read this clearly. The blanket has beautiful embroidery work around the edges.
Aww, those are lovely thoughtful gifts. What a nice blanket from the Sick Kids Hospital, and I love the Canada onesie!

There were also chocolates that may have been eaten before pictures could been taken


This SS is very sneaky! I need hints!
I would love one of those wreaths. What a great idea. Should keep the kitties entertained while the birds feed.
That bear is such a lovely idea! Are you going to record Ava in it?

Give them a chance. They are resting up for the opening - occurring soon, of course.

Today's gift:



A new kitty toy!
The kids just love it - especially Geronimo. I can't believe how high he jumps in the air to try and catch it - considering how fat he is!










I tried to get some "action" shots, but that's impossible.
Samurai didn't get to join in on the fun today, because he's at the vet's getting neutered.


You're gonna love this next pic, Amy!




It's Geronimo, laying on the cheesehead house. I guess he figures if he can't lay IN it, he'll lay on TOP of it instead!


Maybe if he chases his new toy around enough, he'll lose some weight and will finally be able to fit in it!


The kids all say thanks, Aunty Amy!

Everything in the box is wrapped, so I don't think this is supposed to be one of my gifts.
That is just way too funny!!
