Christmas card contest. We open cards and vote each year on Christmas Eve. It's always between my artist aunts for the big win. We're a little snarky too and also vote for least effort, funniest, etc. Fewer cards each year is making it harder, but we'll always have the aunts. They love to compete for the title lol!


My aunt finding out she won
after 2 years at #2.

Original. It's so cute.


Dinner was good. Still work no matter how hard I try. Got a big knife cut that's not helping my speed in the kitchen. I probably need a couple of stitches, but not happening on Christmas Eve so I'm keeping a tight pressure bandage. Throb, throb, throb.

Slush cake was the best part of the meal. It's a vintage classic of all the fake food desserts. Left overs today but I need to watch my sugar intake if I'm putting on a big dinner -- no sugar crash before I finish cooking.

I got to feel the baby moving -- best feeling. I can't wait to meet this little boy.

Oh and half our kitchen electrical went out. We knew it was coming -- bad breaker. We couldn't get someone out to fix it. It's happened before. Long story, but hard to find parts ($$$) and eventually they'll all need to be replaced. Fun. Doing some creative cooking. Hopefully it gets fixed by the baby shower.

Merry Christmas.
