merry little

a very scrappy christmas for our family.
christmas has come and gone
 the new year is upon us, with new adventures
and directions.

(and for the sake of documentation this blog gets posted en retrograde.)

cleaning house and soul on new years day.

the kindest presence in our stamp sized yard, feeling grateful she's happy in our little patch of wild. she's near the end of her days.

linky's baby rides in the trike.

and back to the holidays! a guardian from ty.


wild foothill succulents.

we had a special christmas sleepover at the casper's... grandpa kurt's barber shop.


...accompanied by christmas eve feasts and christmas morn feasts. :)
an intuitive present from my mother in law.

vintage paper, home made heating pads.

linky falls asleep in grandma's arms, holding the baby she gave him for christmas.

i show off the hooded scarf tami made me. <3

acorn toasts and pom jelly.

wintry.

my favorite little mushroom people.


sister merry emcees the smith festivities, a family talent show!



cousin hailey, her love ezra, sister amy, sister jenny, and her mate dana. at the cozmic in placerville.

ty and i hosted our very own holiday party. this is where ty could be found, with linky and our niece holly.

my lovely sisters in law.

bird's eye view of apples to apples.

another party at my parent's, with my sister visiting from oregon.

nieces and nephews crafting.


last sunset of the year.


partied with the boys and went to bed before midnight. :)
don't worry, i figured out how to remove the time-stamp from the camera settings.

i feel this year will move so swiftly, hopefully
to be full of collective music and kind rituals around local food, and permanent changes to our weather patterns.

also: you're looking at sierra college's newest student. :)
