Po – Ta – Toes Recipe!

We attempted to make our friend Kedar’s spicy potatoes recipe. 🙂

It turned out pretty good, but we did forget a couple of things. Whoops!

Our first time cooking potatoes in the pressure cooker. Worked pretty well!

We also never cooked with Green Chilies before … so Shaun tried one before chopping. Long story, short, yes, they’re definitely hot!

Other ingredients were tumeric, olive oil, salt, ginger, and garlic. And cilantro, which we forgot!

Much more authentic naan from the Indian market down the road. Very yummy.

Christmas Day! (2023)

The kids were super excited!

By the way .. No, we did not get a puppy, despite what Sammy seems to be suggesting at the end. HAHA

Stockings!

Unwrapping together!

Then …. there was a special pair of gifts for the end.

Gabby got a brand new iPad Mini! (Sammy’s tablet is the one they’ve always shared, but in a new case and with everything setup for just him.)

Building Daddy’s gift … a Land Rover Defender LEGO! <3

While waiting for the Christmas Day tradition of monkey bread to finish in the oven!

Off for a walk since the weather was so nice!

And back for some mini hockey! Sammy loved it.

And Gabby played with ~2-3 gifts, simultaneously, for the remainder of the day!

Finally, a lovely traditional-ish Christmas Day dinner prepared by Mommy. (Ham, Buffalo-style Cauliflower, Yams, Corn, Mac and Cheese, Kings Hawaiian Rolls)

Christmas Eve! (2023)

First up … look at this handsome ho(w)liday hound!

Gingerbread houses!

Gabby and Daddy:

Sammy and Mommy:

Timelapse was going well … until it took a dive off the top turn-buckle. Some Kings Hawaiian rolls knocked it off. 😂

Family tradition! Mommy’s lasagna on Christmas Eve. 🙂

Cookies and milk were out for Santa. <3
