"For there's no place like home for the holidays..."
After the Candlelight Service at FBC, we got into Goodie-making mode. This usually ends with McRae trying to dip something bizarre into my chocolate fondue pot and always ends with me struggling to dip the last of the pretzels while everyone else has moved on to other activities. This year we made mints, chocolate dipped pretzels, oreos and cherries, and then also peanut butter balls (which I ate every single one of... they're like homeade reese cups).
No, your eyes are not deceiving you. I look like a beast AND we're wearing matching festive sweaters.
Festive Sweaters was the brainchild of McRae who found these jewels at Dirt Cheap for 7 bucks each. He made us wear khaki pants with the sweaters at 6 am. It was worth the look on my mom's face when she saw us.
This is a sampling of the annual war with Silly String. I don't like to have dirt in my hair so I don't participate. This used to mean everyone turned their efforts toward me, but they respect the Nikon D60 and didn't form an alliance against me this year.
And after all the morning festivities of festive sweaters, matching pj's, silly string wars, etc., our cousins come over from Brandon for the Feast and some Apples to Apples, our new favorite game.
