Christmas Cookies

 

At times, Jen makes it easy to visualize her having her own TV show. I can't decide whether it would be more at home on The Food Network or Comedy Central, but it would be entertaining none the less. Maybe she just needs her own network like Oprah. While baking some chocolate/mint Christmas cookies this evening she randomly announced, "they should be hard on the outside and soft on the inside, like an old turd." Her less than appetizing comment did nothing to dissuade me from wanting one of those poo-colored treats. They're delicious.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We spent a lot of time in the wintery, snowy weather this weekend, but not as much as we could have. Our calendar was pretty booked. We decided against going to our church's Christmas Extravaganza on Friday night because of the frigid weather (and taxing work weeks). We had also reserved a Zipcar to drive to a friend's game-playing party on Saturday but had to cancel when the news about the snow storm made our trip to New Jersey seem unsafe.

An old friend of Jen's from Florida is now married, pregnant, and lives just a couple blocks from us. Their holiday party on Saturday was too close to home for excuses so we did make it out to that. We got there and back without getting too cold or wet, but many couldn't make it or were very late due to public transportation-related issues. 'Tis the season for over-indulging, and I did just that at the party. But it's ok, we ate very healthy today and hit the gym to make up for it. Anyway, enjoy a few of the pictures we took this weekend!
