A Day in the Life...

 Christmas comes fast and I love the spirit it brings. I'm grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ, for His sacrifice, love, patience, example, and for the love and power of family and faith. I crocheted stockings this year. Finished the day before Christmas Eve, right on time. We also went to my aunt Penny's for the annual brunch and cookie exchange. Got enough treats for neighbor and friend gifts. We spent Christmas Eve at Oma and Opa's. We stuffed ourselves with lasagna and focassia. Dakota face when her cousin opened up a sandwich maker was Priceless (she's wanted one for awhile now), and was pretty stoked when she opened one too.  It was a great night.

We threw in stuff we had and some of it are things that we do eat regularly, but a lot of it isn't. We got: Endive Okra Pear Orange Pineapple Watermelon radish White beet Orange beet Dandelion leaves Cranberries Carrots, tri-color Broccoli Rutabaga Watercres  Banana Zucchini powder Kale Rainbow chard Spinach Cameron tried it and she didn't die Maci tried it and she almost died The rest of us try to and decided it doesn't taste good but it's definitely not awful. I froze a bunch into tablespoon sizes and started throwing it into smoothies. Nobody would be able to tell the difference!
