What Happened over Christmas? part 2

*Note: Because we used the holidays to go and see my family we were unable to put up posts. But here's what Caline and Frère did over the Christmas break!

10 days till Christmas

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Oh, how cute!”

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline, I was going
to use that box to pack a gift in but now…”

 The Frenchman’s wife, “You are just the
cutest gift ever, but I can't wrap you
up even if you do fit so well
in that box!!!”

Caline, “Did you say something?”

What Happened over Christmas? Part 1

*Note: Because we used the holidays to go and see my family we were unable to put up posts. But here's what Caline and Frère did over the Christmas break! 

15 days till Christmas

 Caline, “Humm, this is new!”

 Caline, “Oh, a star! This is the best part!”

 Caline, “Oh and this palm tree is the best too!”



A few minutes latter…

  Frère, “What’s this?”
The Frenchman’s wife, “That’s a nativity scene,
it tells the story of Christmas!”

 Frère, “Oh la la, a star!”

Caline, “Try the tree, it’s the 2nd best part!”
Frère, “Oh, it is!”



*Note: This was just after we set up the nativity scene.  Caline is always the first to discover anything new, Frère is very cautious and waits for her to inspect first.
Caline and Frère love the star and palm tree so much because it is pointy and they enjoyed using it to rub their cheeks against just like this:

Le Chat dans le Panier

 Frère, “Oh, how I love my basket!”

 Frère, “It’s the best place to nap!”

Frère, “And now that it’s by the heater it’s
even that much better to sleep in!”

Cat Writer?

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Frère, do you know that you
are laying on my writings.”

 Frère, “Yes I know that!”

 Frère, “The view from here is wonderful!”

 Frère, “And the heat is perfect! Did you know
that your papers make a wonderful pillow?”
The Frenchman’s wife, “No I didn’t but you will have
to move so I can get back to work!”



*Note: Caline and Frère love to take napes on my desk because it is just above the heater. Here is a picture of Caline as she woke up:

Caline, “Salut!”
(Translation: Hi!)

Petite Beauté

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Well look at you.”

 The Frenchman’s wife, “All sweet and curled up!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “I wonder what your
dreaming of?”



*Note: Caline and Frère have enjoyed this window seat since we moved here, to see click here.

Le Serpent!

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Ahhh... A snake!!!”

 Caline, “Don’t worry I’ll take care of it!”

 Caline, “Take this!”

 Caline, “GURRR!”

Caline, “Ok, It’s safe I killed it for you!”



*Note: Caline’s first impresion of this snake was one of unintrest but since moving it has become her favorit toy. If we walk by it she meows and begs for us to play with her. She even runs so fast after it that she has made herself dizzy. To see Caline and the snake before click here.

A Pillow to Nap on

 The Frenchman’s wife, “How shocking!”

 Frère, “What?”
The Frenchman’s wife, “You’re napping on the
pillows rather than on the back of the
couch like you’ve been doing!”

 Frère, “I have the right to change spots if I like!”

Frère, “Now if you will be quite I have
something important to get to!”



*Note: Frère’s something “important to get to”, is napping. To see pictures of him sleeping on the back of the couch click here.
