Merry Christmas!
Dec. 25th, 2021 07:12 pmI hope that if you celebrate Christmas that you had a great one, and that if you don't, it was a great Saturday anyway.
Did gift exchange with mom and Taylor this morning - I got books, because of course I got books. :D My TBR pile is already crying, and the despair only grows deeper.
Alex came and grabbed me around 11, and dropped off the stuff he'd baked yesterday.
Some little round sugar cookies and zucchini cake!

He also made us one. I forgot to get a picture before we cut into it. It's so good!
Alex and I did our gift exchange when we got home. He got me a bunch of stuff - some nice candy, a couple more books I'd asked for, a pretty notebook (which I'll be too worried to use) and some pens. And some cute squishmallows because they're adorable. <3
(I think I did pretty okay on the gift-giving, too: mostly models, plus a book about appaloosa breed horses, a CD he'd wanted, a silly kitchy "Old Bay Seasoning" ornament that he loved, lol...)
Of course the dog got a thing:

Photo originally from Alex, though I cropped it.
Cy got a fancy memory foam bed for his poor aching old joints. Spoiled monster. The mattress came with a little pea stuffed squeaky toy (a la Princess and the Pea), which he obviously had a great time shredding.
And now, the most important "Christams" tradition:

Watching Christams Twister.
