Merry Christmas Everybody

It is 7:30am Christmas morning. William and I are in Ashland, getting ready to go over the pass to Redding to see my family. We were prepared for snow, but the roads are bare and dry, so we didn't need to worry about them in the first place. Ashland is beautiful during the holidays. The whole town is lit up with twinkle lights.
Next year, it would be fun to have both our families meet here for Christmas. The only problem....there is nothing open on Christmas Day. Only the Starbucks is open and the fast food joints. It would be a Christmas dinner of McDonald's and coffee.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas, Apartment Style

When you live in a 550 square-foot apartment you have to use your space wisely. Our big picture window acts as our mantle for our stockings and displays our Christmas wreath, which we have in lieu of a tree for several reasons: 1. Cats like to climb trees, 2. We only have enough ornaments to decorate a wreath, and 3. WE LIVE IN A 550 SQ. FT. APARTMENT!

The table is a busy place in our apartment. We've given up trying to eat meals on it. As you can see a few members of our family feel as if it is their's.

Meet Ruby

Meet Ruby, the office dog at the place I work. She is a sweet girl, a bit spoiled by all of us at the shop. On this particular day we dressed her up for Christmas. Isn't she cute?
