I have received a Christmas Eve blessing! Maddie, Big Daddy, Lay-dee, and Loud Nerf Gun Boy left the house for 10 hours. I was blessed with peace and quiet. I spent most of the day burrowed under Maddie's blankets. I was cozy. I was warm. And the door was shut so I knew I was safe from Lay-dee's rascal hooligan cats sneaking up on me.

It was surprisingly quiet when the family arrived home. Lay-dee of course, was busy, but the rest of them were so tired I expected them to start burrowing under their own blankets. I cuddled with Maddie in bed and learned about some wonderful birds the family saw at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. I don't know why they had to travel so far to see birds. I saw 14 crows and a dark-eyed junco in the street today and I didn't even have to leave my window perch.

I enjoyed my quiet day and am hoping for the same kind of day tomorrow. Loud Nerf Gun Boy yelled out tonight that he's not waking up early tomorrow-no matter what. Maybe he and I have more in common than I thought.
