Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Yes, I know that Christmas was a week ago, but we have been traveling, making blogging a tad tricky. Before we left, we got ourselves stockings (no, we never had any before) and fixed our fireplace, which has added coziness!


Our first stop on our multi-leg tour was in Indiana, where we hung out with Jesse's side of the family.


We baked delicious gluten-free pumpkin muffins

and fiery chocolate mini muffins with chocolate icing and strawberries.


We had to use ridiculously high proof alcohol to get them to light right, but we got it!


We also played pool


and Jesse played so well that when he scratched Lorna was so surprised she spilled her wine all over the floor.

All of us went out to eat together as well.


We also had fun and craziness with my side of the family.


We enjoyed our presents,

read,

got crafty,

and went to the Mystic Seaport.


We had fun looking at old boats.


All in all it was a good Christmas!
