Tattoo Artist

Mom was sick for Christmas, so Emily and the kids and I went down to Bumpass to bring them their gifts and stockings and have lunch on Friday.
They have coloring books for the kids that came with temporary tattoos, and I was sent to give the kids which ever one they wanted. I tried twice and failed so poorly that we had to call in someone with more experience, and Dad was it…he’s definitely the tattoo artist in the family!

Daniel shoes


Ben got two pairs of these for Christmas, so now he gets to return one pair for a larger size so he’ll get to wear them even longer. Emily scammed me into buying shoes for both of the kids while we were at Target, even though I had finished their Christmas shopping before getting to VA. It turned out that Aunt Renita had bought the same shoes for Ben (but different ones for Claire). 
Next time Emily tries to lure you into the shoe aisles at Target with promises of being “the best aunt ever”, just say no!

I did the poaching

I am easily one of the least culinarily inclined in the family. This is a salad that Emily found a recipe for and has introduced to our Christmas Eve meal (lasagna ever since we all had enough and told mom how yucky the fish she used to make was). It has poached pears, candied walnuts, and gorgonzola cheese, and it’s delicious. One of my favorite things about going down to VA to see the fam is all the yummy food – old family favorites and new yummy recipes.

He’s on fire!

Emily, Brian, and I went to the Japanese steakhouse for dinner, and it was delicious. Except the Saki Martini, yuck!

The little boy in the background didn’t like when the chef would make the BIG flames, so he hid behind his napkin for that part.

Johnny Rockets

I had the same lunch two days in a row – Saturday at the airport in Boston and Sunday at Union Station in DC. I try to eat at Johnny Rockets at least once every time I’m in DC because it’s so easy and yummy and I love the juke boxes!
Random Sarah’s life trivia: Johnny Rockets was the last meal I had in Australia.
