The 24 lb turkey is in the oven, stuffed and seasoned. PB commented that it was the biggest turkey he’s ever lifted. He was worried that the oven rack would be able to handle it (can you see the rack sagging a little?!). It’s already making the house smell heavenly. When I was stuffing it,…
What’s on your Holiday playlist?
I turned on the radio today on the way to the bank and the library and the grocery store, and I heard one of my favorite radio Christmas songs (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan). Love that song! So I started thinking…what are YOUR favorite Christmas songs? Here is…
Thankful Turkeys – a Thanksgiving Craft
The other night, we made Thankful count-down-to-Thanksgiving Turkeys. We had so much fun making them! I love how each turkey started out completely unique, but then everyone started noticing the cool ideas from other family members, and added clothes or other features. We made enough feathers for each turkey (it was supposed to be…
Christmas pageants, anyone??
I just found out tonight that I am in charge of putting together a relatively small/basic children’s Nativity for our Church Christmas dinner/party. So I thought I’d turn to my great blog readers (especially those of you who never comment!) and ask for help. Have you done or seen something in the past that worked…
Happy 4th of July!
We had a fun 4th of July! We started off at an early pancake breakfast at Church….The best part about the breakfast was seeing Grandma and Grandpa there! They had arrived in town the night before and so the breakfast was practically the first chance the kids had to see them. We were eager to…
Happy Mother’s Day!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Mother’s Day this year, considering I was flying solo this weekend. I knew that the girls were scheming yesterday (“Don’t come down here, Mom!”) and I knew that Peanut Butter had bought me a gift before he left. Unfortunately, he had left it in his truck, and it…
What’s behind a good family picture…..
I love the interaction that we caught between the kids here. It all started with a pinch between Twizzler and KitKat….Then it escalated…. Can’t you feel the love? Finally! Happy family. :)
Decorating Eggs 2008
My favorite picture from tonight. Look at those eyes! Not only did we decorate Easter eggs tonight, but I got to try out my brand new, just came in the mail this afternoon, lens! I LOVE the feel of it (even Dale commented on it!) and I am pretty happy with my first-try results. St…
Dear Santa
I found this on my bed this morning…Taco writes the best letters!
What’s for dinner?
Tradition….. Yesterday, I mentioned to PB that I was thinking of making a different apple pie. My friend, Karen, gave me an apple pie recipe that I tried out in October and loved. I figured that I’d made my old recipe for every holiday meal for the last 21 years (boy does that make me…
