When you begin your day with world conquest and end it with apple pie, there's not much that can go wrong in between.
Winning anything is fun, but beating my eldest brother in a serious game of Risk was particularly satisfying. This while running back and forth to the kitchen in preparation for the spread that would occupy the rest of the day... Holiday plans were a little different this year without Paige and Whitney (we missed you!) and the rest of Paige's family that had provided countless pie options in years past. So instead of our usual feasting ritual at home, we joined the bishop's family at their home with a few others.
Managed to land a seat at the adult's table- another small victory- and soon discovered the beauty of sweet potatoes, which, incidently, don't taste like potatoes at all. I was initially a little wary of the color (we're not big believers in color when it comes to meals), and then the name (Potatoes? And sweet? Both, together?? And why orange? Potatoes aren't orange.) but decided to be brave and try new things. I went back for seconds. Nothing on Logan, who I believe went for fifths, but I had conquered the world that morning and he didn't make it to Day 2 (sorry Logan- world domination doesn't leave much room for compromise), so in the universal scheme of things I'm probably still up for the day.
In an effort to keep this an upbeat entry, I'll end it here. Happy holidays, everybody.
