Life Lately December 2025

I decided to do my wrap-up post about December early because we'll be traveling for the rest of the month and I like for any travel posts to be separate from the Life Lately posts!

I love our handsome boy

To be honest, there really isn't much to report because the month was all about the countdown to winter break. Since we'd already celebrated Christmas over Thanksgiving weekend, the focus was prepping for our trip!

made an $18 impulse purchase during Black Friday
sales and now I can see the northern lights whenever I please

I call Avalanche my "silly goose"
so I love this new shirt

also bought some Silly Goose mittens

holiday dinner with my girls

he's got a tough life

my favorites!

the face he makes when he wants a treat

truly his favorite spot

he loves snoozing by the Christmas tree

we got some snow, so Avalanche and I went outside
at 5:30 am to experience the first flakes

he would have stayed out there
all day if we had let him!

none too pleased that it was already
starting to melt

built for winter weather,
forced to live in Virginia

taking himself for a walk

ready for a road trip to Canada

found quite a bit of snow at a rest stop which meant
Avalanche spent 15 minutes wandering around
sniffing every inch of ground in sight

part of our drive were not great,
but we eventually made it

apparently worn out from the drive

settling in for his four-week stay with his grandparents

C's dad took Avalanche for a walk
to distract him when we left to drive
home without him

we luckily had great weather on the way back

we are so incredibly grateful
for C's parents and their willingness
to watch Avalanche for us while we travel!


As I'm writing this, we're in Argentina, meaning it's summer here (the real feel today was 92 degrees) and it was the Summer Solstice today. As a lover of winter and cold temperatures and short days / long nights...how have I had to experience the longest day of the year TWICE in 2025?!? LOL!

Happy Tails to you!
