🍕🍕🍕Pizza party!! 🍕🍕🍕

Today team ACM cashed in on the free pizzas that we won for OHIO's 12th annual gingerbread contest. PIZZA PARTY! The pizzas were from Baker Catering and they were HEAVY DUTY.



This is basically pizza porn. Look at those big pillowy slices!



Mmmm.



Hellooooooo.



Yes please!



Winning sure does taste good!

Fire and Ice cooking club

Tonight was Fire and Ice cooking club at Valerie's house. Summer, Valerie and I were the chefs. There was a lot of fiery action this evening, so I put together a quick video.



Now for the photos. Look at that table. Fire and ice!!



Yumi brought Dragon wine. Dragons breathe FIRE!



I made Fairytale of New York cocktails. To make them, you first brew up a winter warmth simple syrup, so drinking them is like warming yourself by the fire.



Summer made spicy fennel and black peppercorn drumsticks on the fiery hot grill.



Hot, hot, hot!



I made refreshing iceberg wedge salads to cool things down.



Lady in red, with fire behind her and an icy wedge in front!



Grilled bread to go with.



Valerie surprised us with LED ice cubes! They don't light up until they make contact with the water. So cool!



Chatting while the chefs cook!



Spicy hot chicken legs! With a cooling creamy gorgonzola sauce.



Mmm!



Valerie made shrimp scampi. Flambé!



Liza!



Summer made spicy chocolate ice cream.



To go with Val's Crepe Suzette!



So much yum!

Sitting alone in the dark staring at the water bowl

Emma is obsessed with the water bowl in the bathroom. She sits in there, in the dark, just staring at it. Sometimes she'll drink it. Often she'll stick her paw in and flick water droplets all over the room.




She's soooo weird! I fill it up multiple times a day with fresh water. I have to, because of her sticking her paws in there all the time. It gets dirty and hairy! Cats are so weird.

Happy birthday, Mom!

We had a birthday dinner for Mom at our house tonight!



Birthday ice.



Chicken tikka masala!



Raita.

Mer made a delicious and beautiful coconut cake.



Happy birthday to Mom! Make a wish!

Pokemon Go Community Day

Today was the inaugural Pokemon Go Community Day! Ben and I met up with Kailee and Neal to geek out. Kailee made Pokeball cake pops!






Yay for cake pops!



So many people came together to play Pokemon! We did two legendary raid battles back-to-back.



Pokemon brings people together!

Sweater

If you thought Felix was dapper in that little coat, OMG LOOK AT HIM IN THIS COZY V-NECK SWEATER!

Snow!

We got a snow storm last night! Ben, Felix and I took a snowy night walk as the flakes started coming down. Ice beard!



Felix and Ben.






We woke up this morning to more snow!



Good thing we recently bought Felix his own little coat!



Look at the furry hood!!!!!



Running in the snow!



Last week, we took him to the vet because something in the back yard had scratched up his snout. He's always poking his face into critter holes. Clearly, the most recent snout attack hasn't scared him off!



Hunting!



Mr. Handsome.






After playing in the backyard, we went out front.



Felix supervised Ben as he set to scraping the driveway.






Keep up the good work!



Romping in the snow.



Are you kidding me with the handsomeness in this coat? Seriously!!!



Sooooo rugged and handsome.



Beckoning us to join him for a walk.
