Amy grew up with cats and has always wanted a cat, and Alexis has wanted a pet, because here sisters both have birds. I have a friend at work who had a bunch of new baby kittens and I told him that we would like one of them. For Alexis' birthday, I surprised both Alexis and Amy by wrapping up a picture of a kitten for one of her presents and told her that we would be getting one for her birthday. After the shock and excitement, we drove over to my friends house to look at the kittens and have Alexis pick out the kitten that she wanted to have as her pet.
The kittens were not old enough to leave 'momma cat' for a few more weeks, so we just picked out the cat we would like to have. Alexis picked out a black and white kitten that would be her pet. Everything was fine and dandy until Amy fell in love with a little gray kitten. I was barely ok with one cat, but TWO? I told her that we would just be getting one for Alexis, so she should try and convince Alexis to get the gray one. It had only been about 1 day before I told Amy that we could get both kittens. So there you go, last week we brought home two kittens and added two new 'A' names to our family. After seeing them play together all week, we are glad that the two sister kittens have someone to play with. They are very cute and everyone in the family is 'smitten with the kittens'. I have even held them a few times. :-)
