Christmas was a lovely affair as always! Mimi got artsy with the beef wellington so I got to help her cut out holly leaves from the leftover pastry dough. It turned out great!
She's an artist in the kitchen.
Look at that spread!
The Johnsons on Christmas Day. I love these people!
My crafting contribution - a tribute to how Aaron always changes the words to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" to be "He sees you when you're sleeping" on loop.
Morgan got Max some pinecone jelly. It was... edible? It had good flavor but eating a pinecone, even a soft one, just feels weird.
Max had us play some debate game where we argued about ridiculous scenarios. He's a good guy to have around.
Grumpa's shop was the source of roasted marshmallows and magic wand making. Blake and Grumpa are making an electric guitar together from scratch, which will be truly epic if it gets finished.
Here's a picture of Annie on the way to hide her brother's body after the mishap with the axe
I found some giant paper in the basement and used it to make family new year's resolutions together. We each got a different colored crayon and got to write a goal for each of the categories. The one I'm most excited about is the Family History birthdays. I stole this idea and most of the content from Megan. Throughout the year on the birthdays of close deceased ancestors, we will read a short story about them and look at a picture of them during dinner. Then in the fall we will celebrate Dia de los Muertos with an ofrenda of pictures of our ancestors we have learned about throughout the year.
