Family time

I am spending a week at my aunt, grandma, with regular visits from both of my cousins and wifes, kids - a wonderful time.
Today my cousin's children are staying overnight. They consider it a rare treat when I come to stay a bit and they insisted in staing at my aunt's for two days this week-end. And as we are busy cooking and baking traditional Christmas specialties, we also have a great time together, we laugh a lot and enjoy being together.
On the pictures, just some of the many trays of miniature gingerbread Christmas cookies we bakes today, my aunt and my cousin's kids.

Elisabeth - my dog and cat never lay together like on the picture. At the beginning, Toska tried but Happy was too scared. It was just a one time shot LOL!

Donna - I don't think H. will let her stay but from what I hear daily, she's having a great time and he's spoiling her totaly, so who knows with 7 weeks left... :)

Linda - your comment made me think. I was first surprised, then I realized I would have *never* given my own pet(s) to anyone else. And then I realized also why I let Toska go so easily with H. - it's because it's him, it's H. I know he's the most caring person with both people and animals and I know the way he is with both of mine :) I wouldn't have let her go if I hadn't known that apart food and going out, she gets a huge daily dose of care and warmth. She does :)
