Salsa Anyone?

The other night at dinner we had something with salsa and Natalie boycotted dinner and grabed the jar of salsa and started eating it with her spoon.

Christmas Pictures

Our power was out all morning on Christmas. I was expecting it to go out the week before when it was actually stormy (it usually does) and I was all ready for it then, but no it decided to go out for Christmas, so most of our pictures turned out dark or funky dark/flash pictures since of course the girls wanted to open presents when it was still dark outside. We had made cinnamon rolls the night before and since we couldn't cook them in the oven we put them in the dutch oven and Shawn used the BBQ to cook them and they actually turned out pretty good.

All Brooklyn and Emma wanted for Christmas was a spy kit. Luckily even their friends wanted to know what the heck is a spy kit? to which they responded "duh! everything you need to be a spy. good thing Santa knows what's up. He brought them a kit with walkie talkies, a digital camera, binoculars and of course disguises. I wish they would stop spying on me... I keep getting in trouble.

S, B, & E have been cooking dinner with me once a week for the past few months. They each have their own night and they get to pick the dinner they want to cook. Savannah loves to try new recipies and is getting to be really good. They each got their own cook book and apron- can't wait to try their new creations. Yummm!
