Catching up with the Barnums. 
Here's some of what's been going on.

Christmas!


Kate and Ben hosted us at their new apartment on Christmas Eve. 
We had a gingerbread house making adventure. 

When I learned that Kate wanted to do cookie cut-outs, I 3d printed a Baby Yoda cookie cutter.  About half way through cutting out the cookies Kate said "Is there anyone that doesn't want to choose Baby Yoda!"
Jared always makes his pretzels so exacting. 

We formed our yearly Christmas ornaments out of foam clay on Christmas Eve and then painted them on Christmas day. 

Everyone's turned out so well! 

Other things



I finished the Elsa dress back in December and Ruth did one Heroic event as Elsa.  We learned that we have to rework the wig so it is not so heavy and it holds it shape better but I'm happy with how the dress turned out. 

Ruth and I did Hero Saturday at Thanksgiving point with our Heroic friends. 
Last weekend Kate, Ruth, and I got together for lunch and talked about baby and wedding plans.

We took Kate shopping for some maternity clothes.  We thought she looked like a beautiful greek fertility goddess. 
We have a new addition in our house, the cardboard Baby Yoda.  Baby Yoda sometimes joins for dinner and joins Ruth on the couch to play video games together.  Jared is not a fan of the Baby Yoda because sometimes early in the morning it frightens him.
