We locked the dogs out of the dining room ever since I finished putting the ornaments on the tree, because Cleo likes to sit in that window and growl at cats, and I didn’t want her knocking the tree over in her excitement.

Tonight, packing for our trip, I looked through the dining room doors, and caught the image of the tree in the window, and thought it was pretty, so I took a picture.

I have to be up in three hours to get to the airport, so I’m signing off now. Watch my twitter feed (my user name there is MissMelysse) for updates on our trip, and expect a blog sometime tomorrow evening.

To those whose holiday cards still haven’t gone out (I’m SORRY, I ran out of time!), please know that you are in my thoughts.
