It's Christmas! And we are spending the day at home with our cats! Yay! We are going out to have dinner with my in-laws tonight but that will be pretty chill. Just four of us at a quiet restaurant.

Here's my Christmas baking!

I'm so psyched about this hotel breakfast lol

I'm vegan and gluten free and cheap so I'm thrilled to get a full meal out of the budget hotel breakfast bar. They even had oat milk for coffee! Living large!

Less psyched about the 6 hours drive home after doing the drive here yesterday, but it gets me home to my couch faster.

Spent the day at home, had some air fried chicken fries for dinner. Not much of a Christmas dinner but that's okay, we don't really celebrate Christmas. It was a nice day.
