doings of december

This month, it rained a lot:

Nick and I went to a silent movie festival. There was no Buster Keaton movie being played, so we settled on watching one starring his god father:

I think it is safe to say that Addie was intrigued by our Christmas tree:

We made these:

And went on a road trip with my family out into the desert. We started our journey at Ski Inn:

Then we made our way to the International Banana Museum:

I find this man very a-peel-ing:

We stopped by Salvation Mountain:

We camped out in Slab City for the night after enjoying the talent show at The Range:

The next morning, we explored Slab City:

Then we drove to Felicity, the official center of the world:

It is also home to the Museum of History in Granite:

And one tiny church:

Inside the pyramid is a bronze plaque in the ground, with a dot showing where the center of the world is:

T'was a grand time:

We enjoyed more San Francisco views:

And finished making our cider!:

And did the yearly Christmas Eve tradition of watching The Big Lebowski while drinking White Russians:

There were many cuddles:

The case of who jumped up onto the counter and drank the rest of the gravy:

She confessed immediately. Case closed:

There were many, many board games:

Dogs working on their tans:

Quality family time:

Old friends:

Bowling in the new year:

And many smiling faces:

May your year be filled with smiles and White Russians.





much love,
