December 23rd

Today's Christmas break day started off with a little vacation just for mommy... meaning that I went to Trader Joe's all by myself! It was wonderful. I got a teeny little cup of coffee all to myself and nobody spilled it. I came home to little girls all dressed (mostly) and ready to go to Denny's for some hobbit pancakes! We had fun with some family activities, and delivered our Christmas cards to a few neighbors.

Violet was as decorated as our cookies:

I'm not sure her cookie-decorating vision was realized:

So many cookies! One of my very favorite Xmas activities. I love decorating them, I love eating them! (And can you see our pink gingerbread houses? Top left?)

We all got some running in playing bad guys and super heroes. I'll let you provide your own narrative for this picture:

We (er, Erik!) built our fire pit! (And can you see how clean the garage is? Gooooooo Erik!)



That, friends, is a packet of chestnuts, wait for it, roasting on an open fire! I will not stop in my quest for the perfect Christmas break! Very fun, and it turns out... I like roasted chestnuts!
