December Randomness, Part III: Pre-Christmas Fun

Here are pictures of more fun things we did in December 2020:

Pictures of Elisa in her cute Christmas dress after church (from two years ago-just barely fit yay!). Ian as usual wanted to be included in the picture shoot.

Elisa and I made sugar scrub together. It was easy and fun--but very messy--to make. I used coconut oil, Vitamin E oil, coarse organic sugar, essential oils for scent, and a little bit of food coloring. We gave them out to a select few and kept a jar for ourselves. I still have plenty ingredients leftover to make more!

Erik made delicious smoked salmon for dinner. The fish itself tasted great but the glaze he made slid off so I couldn't really taste much of it.

After almost 15 1/2 years, my wedding dress still fits! Barely! Haha.

I made Elisa a shirt out of this neat (but awful to work with) fabric I found in the cheap-o bin at Walmart. I think this is the only time she's ever worn it. I made it a size 10, so it will fit her next year too.

I made labels for my homemade vanilla and put a bow on it, to pass out to a select few.

These videos are too large to upload on blogger, but her are the youtube links. They're of Ian being silly. He acted so embarrassed when I watched them! Goofy kid.
