Christmas/Solstice

The first ornament in the tree, that is Roo hiding in the branches. She had a perfect little niche for herself between a few of the branches about half-way up.
Stimpy, hanging out under the tree. All of the cats loved the tree skirt, very soft spot for a nap! They also loved the homemade beaded ornaments around the bottom. Last Christmas the kittens were only a few months old, and they just destroyed the tree. They climbed all over it and most of the lights and ornaments ended up on the floor. This year they are much calmer, still climbing the tree, but not being quite as chaotic.
My very favorite present of the season. When I bought the house, it had gas log installed into the fireplace. The previous owners told me that it worked, but of course, like with many other things that they told me, that was less than completely true. So, for winter this year, my mom had the gas logs removed for me and now I can use it as a real live wood-burning fireplace! Yay!

That's wild. We are actually 35 miles north of Anchorage, in a town called Wasilla. We have lived here for 5 1/2 years and like the milder climate from Fairbanks. Fairbanks has some brutal winters but then we have milder summers too where Fairbanks has nice warm summers so I guess there is always a sacrifice. Do you have a myspace account?
