I Can't Believe Jason Beat Me in This

 Jason and I joined a fitness ap basically so we could see how much Reed and his cross country friends run and be impressed by them.  

Here is what Reed's year looked like.


And here's Reed compared to normal people. 


I am actually really impressed with how much more consistent Jason is about walking than I am.  I will definitely be better about that next year now that I know I'm going to get a report at the end of the year!

I would also like to thank the city of Breckenridge for all my elevation!

Parties

 Jason and I have both had a bunch of Christmas parties, none of which we have gone to together, or have any pictures from.  But we did go to his work party last week.

The dress was "holiday festive".  And as you can see, I was the festive for both of us.

More from Floral Arranging

Here's Kyle's latest project.  I think they look great.  

He got a 90 on them. I think that should definitely be a 100. 


And here's what they look like in our house!

MAGA Tree

 So here is my new tree this year.  

Yes, it's right beside our main tree, but it looks better in real life than it does in this picture. 


 I made Barron taller than everyone, and I made Melania to look like she did at the 1st inauguration because she looked so stunningly beautiful that day.  I even made her gloves! 


 

I realized after I took his picture that Usha looked too big, so I trimmed her dress down and now she looks skinner on my tree.


Reed wanted me to make Elon Musk, so I tried to give him his dark MAGA look. 

And Kyle wanted Kai Trump so I put her in a Miami U golfing outfit. Her hair is in a pony tail in the back. 

I want to make more but the days are getting away from me.  I'll update if I get anymore made.

Elf on the Shelf

 So even though I have absolute grown people living in this house, Kyle informed me that he wanted me to do elf on the shelf this year and I "had to do it good". 

I agreed to do it, but I also let them know that the elf would only be moving while they were at school since they both leave for school so early.  So here's what I've done so far, which have been deemed "good enough".


He also found himself on our Trump tree, which I'll have to post about tomorrow and show the ornaments I made for it.

Christmas Decor and Advent Drama

 As you know we have some kind of Advent Calendar drama every year.  This year Kyle informed me he had never gotten to pick the calendar he wanted.  So I let Kyle pick first, and then I labeled all the calendars. 


No sooner did I think I wouldn't be hearing any more about advent calendars, we got this text at JR.


Past advent calendar drama has taught us that Jason gets upset if you eat the candy out of order. You must only eat that specific day's candy.  

I can't with these people.


In other Christmas news, Kyle made this


And I hung it with my silver decor. I think it looks great!

Jason's Birthday and Thaksgiving

 I took 0 pictures of Jason's birthday and also 0 pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner.  

I did, however, take pictures of Reed winning the whole Turkey Trot, so we'll just go with that for this post. 

Here they are at the start.  Reed is in the black shirt.  You can hear the wind whipping around.  It was 30 mile an hour winds (but at least it didn't rain like it has the other years). 



And here's Jason and me in our annual waiting on Reed to come back to the finish picture.


And here he comes down the finish.  
The finish line is empty when you are the first one to cross.


His winning stats


And with his turkey trophy for winning!
