Christmas Eve!

Here is our decorated, little, imperfect tree. We love it.

We're reading Little House in the Big Woods over the holiday.


Dietrich sporting his first Christmas present... homemade pajama pants and a comfy shirt.

Our friend, Miranda, came over to make truffles and do advent prayers with us. We like her.

Making up for our hiatus...

Dietrich has been doing a lot of cooking and baking. He's made upside down pear cake, molasses crinkles, lasagna, broiled Salmon with basil and lemongrass, burritoes and more! Delicious.

We house/pet sat for one of my co workers and her roommates. They have a chic seventies look going on at their house. Pet-sitting...one old dog almost died and the other has some digestion/poop-eating issues. ugh.

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Charlie B's, a local dive bar. A co worker invited us. It was a good spread and a fun time.

Then we went bowling!


My friend, Hattie's, dad and sister visited. They rented a cabin out in the woods and invited us for a game night. It was great fun. 

We drove out into the national forest and cut down our Christmas tree. Great vistas, although the icy dirt roads had me a bit on edge. 

Hot chocolate!

Christmas outfits!

and a tiny tree.

We had a big snow storm last weekend. This is the view out our apartment window into the Winter wonderland.

I, Abigail, went to a secret santa gift exchange at a friend's house. Here are some of my lovely co workers.
