X-mas has come and gone and what a nice one we had! It was one of many firsts-- our first married, our first without our families, our first in Portland, our first with the CatCamp. The day started with the CatCamp all waking up and exchanging gifts and having coffee. Marp and Stephen had some family stuff to do so off they went and we had some cinnamon rolls followed by a walk since it was sunny!
I love our street!
We got some really stuff from our friends all around!
Spoke to the fam back south!
Our orange glazed cinnamon rolls, nom!
Mom Cat sent us a tree since we can't have a normal one because Larry will eat it...
Had to play a few rounds of Boggle!
Most of the rest of our day after our walk was spent in the kitchen making X-mas dinner. A peking duck that Marp and I had made the brine for the day before, home made maple butter, lavender cookies, wreath cookies, roasted veggies...
I made a new cocktail that was crazy yummy! Just rose lemonade (you could make your own by mixing lemonade with rose syrup), a few shots of vodka, and just a dash of rose water liquor! Yum!
After dinner Marp and Stephen headed out to get their puppies and we headed over to Lyndsay and Wesley's for a little X-mas dessert! Their daughter Phelyn and I are just becoming the best of friends! <3 aly="" an="" auntie="" being="" love="" p="">
