Jade got sick right before Christmas. So we've been staying put trying to get her to rest so she can be healthy for Christmas. She got to open some presents early so she could play with them while she's recovering. Jack of course had to open some too.
We made homemade lip gloss out of coconut oil, un-petroleum oil, and crystal light for all of Jade's girlfriends. We had fun making them. We also made fudge for our neighbors and delivered them together in the rain.
We had our Christmas Eve dinner by ourselves for the first time. I made cheesecake cupcakes for the first time and they turned out perfect! Also made potato rolls for the first time and they are delicious too. We simplified the menu and everything was tasty.
Santa brought lots of gifts for our house. Apparently we've been good this year. Jade's favorite toy is her Elsa doll. Jack's was his Tonka truck, mommy's was the popcorn maker, and daddy's was his Eddie Bower down jacket.
We had Belgian waffles for the first time, and we may never go back to the non-yeast kind any more. It took a little more time and effort to get the batter ready. But it's totally worth it. Mommy made the batter the night before and it sat in the fridge over night. It's so flavorful!
Also mommy loved making the scarf for jade. I forgot how much I loved crocheting until I started it again. It took me a couple of nights to finish it. So fun!
Merry Christmas everyone!
