Happy Holiday!

Any other Pastafarianā€™s having noodly fun today?

I was hoping to make spaghetti squash pancakes/hash brown things for breakfast, but Mx. LED forgot to turn the oven off when the alarm went off. :grimacing: They got a bit crispy.

Thatā€™s some crispy critters.

Iā€™m going to be baking and cleaning today.

Yeah, I put them in at 9pm and went to bed. Mx. LED set an alarm and apparently turned it off but didnā€™t get to. I woke up at 1am and asked what smelled so good. :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing:

We decided on drawing the FSM with pancakes instead!

Gifts were a success!!! Her favorite so far is the archery set. But Iā€™m more excited for Catan Jr to be opened up later!

Itā€™s so cool! I honestly wasnā€™t expecting it to be as good as it is. But the arrows have suction cups and they actually stick to the target really well!

Iā€™m more excited for tonight. After lunch we all take obligatory naps until dinner, then showers and pajamas, and board games and all our favorite snacks all night long until we canā€™t stay awake anymore. Lol

Our new games this year are Catan Jr, Chikapig, Ticket to Ride Jr, Jaipur, and King of the Elves. So those will probably go first before we fall back on our old favorites.

Iā€™m cooking the chickpeas right now to make a massive batch of hummus.

Wow! Youā€™re good at making holidays great and memorable. My kids refuse to play games. I like them but the kids donā€™t. Bummer. But Iā€™m so happy for you that you are going to have such a great Christmas :slight_smile:

Weā€™re donā€™t do Christmas. Weā€™re celebrating Holiday. But thanks! Hopefully it goes smoothly!

Weā€™re having fettucine carbonara this this evening with homemade spinach fettucine noodles. There will also be egg nog as it is Egg Nog Day. Kind of blaspheming tomorrow as itā€™s the first day of Noodlemas and there are likely no noodles being served.

All of our archery sets are real and I think we own about 14 bows between the lot of us (Mrs. Raptor is also a certified archery coach). Probably not good if weā€™re using them indoors.

We are having noodly fun on Sunday. My sister is having a day after xmas party, and making lasagna as the main course.

I have to do a ton of baking today and tomorrow ā€“ 2 kinds of cookies. A very buttery sugar cookie, and chocolate chip.

Gifts already happened a month ago during Hanukkah.

Yeah, I feel like a real archery set for a 5 year oldā€™s first intro when neither of her parents know anything about archery is probably a terrible idea. :joy::joy::joy:

But the goal is to get there eventually.

I got her popit bracelets, which is her first ever ā€œinfluenced by peersā€ wish list item.

She made herself a necklace out of them. :joy:

Look into NASP when mini-LED turns 8.

Excellent program. Very inclusive and has a perfect safety record despite millions of children participating worldwide now.

I messed up the rainbow spaghetti sand didnā€™t dry each color before mixing them. :tired_face:

Little LED pretending the spaghetti on her fork was the Flying Spaghetti Monster. :joy:

And my delicious dinner. The hole in the middle is full of mozzarella. :drooling_face:
