Day 245: Baked Awesome

 
This is the lovely before picture of my taters, onions, corn and maters bake. In the center was a small pork roast that (surprisingly) came with a pop up timer. I was totally prepared with my meat thermometer but instead I put my faith in the little green button.

This bake was pretty difficult to gauge because potatoes suck up any amount of seasoning you throw on them and the tomatoes and corn were canned which means they were pretty darn bland too.

Maybe not my best experiment ever but I was ultimately pleased with the result. It tickled me how very similar my before and after pictures were. Please note the steam.

Day 244: Spoiled Rotten

I don’t know who is more spoiled rotten, my hubbster or my dog. Just kidding. I believe I know the answer to that! How long has it been, two days since my last cute animal picture? I promise that I live on a farm and there are more than two animals. My cat and dog are just the cutest ones on the farm.

This is truly an action shot that I will have to video and properly share with the  world. You know how dogs roll onto their backs and wiggle like crazy to scratch? That is pretty much what Tybalt is doing here.

Except there is lots of snuffling and really excited breathing. He loves doing this when he is sitting between Kit and I so he can really wiggle and bother us.

 

Day 243: Sonic Tree

Drinking wine, playing cards and decorating trees. They all seem to go hand in hand, right?

We decorated my brother and SiL’s Christmas tree. They threw on the lifts and balls but realized they didn’t have a tree topper.

Problem solved with this bendable, posable Sonic action figure. If you knew my sibs you would understand exactly how perfect this is for them.

They got a couple if other small action figures and ornaments they added later on.

Yes, this whole blog post was just because I wanted to show off this awesome tree topper.

Day 242: Reading Christmas

We started reading our Christmas book before we went on our road trip but it is difficult to take pictures of people reading and make it look exciting.

Kit and I read Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich as part of our December Adventivities.

The book was decent and amusing. Our favorite characters were the black best friend because of her shopping on Christmas Eve insanity and the horn-dog grandma who looks for potential boyfriends at funerals.

Day 241: Holiday Pops

Part of our December Adventivities.
This was our the destination for our Road Trip.

Fun times were had by all. The orchestra and the choir did an awesome job.

Selections from Puccini, some wild song about shepherds and mutton, and a freaky arrangement of 12 Days of Christmas.

After the concert we went back to my brother and sister-in-law’s house for pajamas, wine and Squeak (until my eyes refused to stay open).
