Had my mom and two safe friends over for holiday dinner! For the first time, I got to cook and host! I made dinner and dessert for everyone and we exchanged gifts. Everything came out so unbelievably delicious!

On Christmas we had dinner at Mom’s (I brought Jeaux) and also my nephew ran a pretend restaurant and had me teaching classes on poop and farts.

He is an incredible artist.

My nephew is here with his family (my sister and brother-in-law) for the holidays, so of course we are playing many games. Here’s Ash building a giant burger out of my pillows, and also the chef hats he made for us.

My mom invited my friends and me to have Thanksgiving at her house. I brought homemade yeast rolls and a pound cake. It was a nice time and we played games.

Dad’s Day 2019 went about like you’d expect: If Lindsay is there, she is making a face.

We got to hang out with our dad at Lindsay’s in-laws’ house and had a great barbecue meal and hung out with great people.

Drinking and Drawing at home

Jan 2, 2019swankivy2019, Gatheringsash, family, ivy, patricia, yusuke

I usually go to my monthly Drink and Draw art club over at Café Hey, but today I got to have some drinking and drawing in my own home!

My sister got me Jam Jar wine for my holiday gift because I joked that I wanted to celebrate something with Manischewitz wine (the yummy juice-like wine I grew up with at family rituals), and my sister asked if she can please get me a wine that’s not Manischewitz. So I tried it.

Verdict: Pretty yum.

The drawing part was with the assistance of my family. Cutiepie Ash got to lie down on the paper and get a trace of his body he could color. Daddy and Mommy (my brother-in-law and sister) did it too. I just drew comics.

And we also played some kind of game driving some kind of vehicle represented by pillows. It was really fun.
