Merry Christmas! (If that’s your thing.)

It is neither snowy, or hot, so Christmas feels weird to both of us. I heard it snowed in Ottawa, and it HAILED in Melbourne, so sounds like both our families had a white Christmas!! Funny!!

Scott made me a nice breakfast and we opened our stockings and presents. I got a new board game called Wasabe!! You make sushi! I also got some weights and a sriracha t-shirt. Coooooool. Scott got a new wallet and some belts and pyjama pants. We also each ordered some more clothes today from boxing day sales. I ordered a coat and Scott ordered a Bill Murray t-shirt.

Christmas is very spread out this year. I’ll be heading to Ottawa in a couple of days, and Scott has to wait until after I get back on Jan. 5th to get his Secret Santa gift.

We had a good video chat with all of Scott’s family yesterday. Everyone always gathers at his parents house so we got to talk with a whole lot of people. I think Scott is pretty excited to see them all in February.

Well anyway, hope you’re having a nice day too!

I forgot to post yesterday!!!

Too busy painting and playing games I guess.

Our Christmas dinner was really nice. The turkey was a lot smaller and easier to manage, so it turned out really moist and tasty. We also had stuffing, yam and potato fries with chipotle sauce, and spicy green beans. Mmmmmm.

We also watched Never Let Me Go. It was kind of weird! But it held my attention and made Christmas Eve pass a little quicker.

I did some Christmas baking today. Double chocolate peppermint cookies. Mmmmmm. I made them in the morning so I could at least try one.

My breakfast tomorrow is going to be all chocolate!!!!



We made sushi last night. To be honest it wasn’t our best effort. The ill-formed salmon ones above were made by me, and the slightly nicer veggie ones were made by Rosemarie. We had so much there was enough for all three of us to have sushi for breakfast!!

Scott should be home from work any minute, and I need to put the turkey in the oven NOW!! All for now.

We played two games of Agricola last night with the Komplex deck. Rosemarie broke her losing streak and beat us BOTH TIMES! Grrrrrrrr.

I want to play more.

Looking forward to tonight’s little feast. Homemade sushi, clementines that Rosemarie found at Superstore (!!!), Smartfood popcorn, NANAIMO SQUARES!! (Although I won’t have any nanaimo squares until tomorrow morning.)

Check out that delicious looking pizza.

I tried out a new dough recipe yesterday, and it turned out really well. I wish I made the pizza bigger, or made two pizzas, because the crust was way thicker than I like. It was still amazingly soft and nice though.

I made it about 75% whole wheat. I also did pilates three days in a row so far. I think I’m turning into my mom!!!!!!!!

Our friend Rob helped Rosemarie move all her stuff over here yesterday. We invited him to stay for pizza and to play Agricola. He is the first outsider that we attempted to teach this game and it went really well. It helped that he actually watched the whole half hour video about the game on Youtube.

Yay for four player Agricola for the first time!! It was interesting. I came in last place. I have no idea what went wrong.
