Sophie's favorite ornament placement this year.  The kitty is sitting perfectly on the branch with the garland perfectly around her she said :)

Sophie made the paper-chain garland at the top 1/3 of the tree this week.

(Christian's not much for making decorations.)

The 2010 ornaments.  I bet you can guess who's is whose...

It's hard to tell, but Snoopy is doing an ice sculpture of Woodstock.

Sophie always decorates her bed too.
