I spent my Christmas money on new curtains, a rug, pillows and some vases to liven up the living room. Couldn't have done it without Asa and Tia's help!
Made pesto-sundried tomato bread in my new bread maker!
Brad dragged the kids around in their new wagon, Will laughed the whole time.
Brad worked on the garage, the mechanical opener part is broken.
This is Will during the present opening.
This is Ruth during present opening.
Merry Christmas Ruth!
Ruth slept in bed with us a lot the last week. (The hairy leg is Brad's not mine!)
Will and Declan (and my old curtains)
yams, carrots and red potatoes so yummy!
We had SOOOO much fun while Brian, Tia and the kids were here. We wished we lived closer to them. We also made delicious caramel corn with Brad's new popcorn popper. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings twice. We had tons of fun with the cookie cutters making several batches of cookies and biscuits. The adults went on a date to Shari's for free pie night...and then also went to DQ for a blizzard! Tia and I went shopping late one night to purchase my living room accessories. And the adults stayed up WAY too late their last night here laughing.
In other news I used a frozen spoon to break Will's bruised gums and help a tooth come through. Will has become a crawling champion in the last few weeks. Ruth's vocab exploded with all of the exposure to her cousins, my favorite thing she says now is, "yeah." Sadly, Makutsi the kitten ran away or got nibbled by the crazy dogs at the end of the street, we don't know. And strangely, our microwave was totally fritzing out for a day or two (it looked like lightning whenever you turned it on), but is once again working properly.
