we leave for virginia tomorrow morning for christmas festivities with family and friends. woot, i say! here we are with a somewhat reluctant kitty, courtesy the new remote control for my digicam from joriel. awesome!

she has been working very hard to get everything ready; you can see some of the results of her handiwork with all the presents for our loved ones, arranged underneath our little tree – they have since been packed for the flight east. we’ll see quite a few of you very soon – be ready, peeps, it’s going to be a whirlwind!
