Happy Holidays

Well we got it, we shoveled it and we survived almost 24 hours without power, it was touch and go at times. Festivities are in full force here. All of the advent calendars have been updated, cookies have been baked and reindeer food prepared, by all accounts we are ready for Christmas Day. Luke and I have been busy in the kitchen preparing the Christmas Eve dinner to include green bean casserole, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, Jayne's stuffing, potatoes, dinner rolls and last but certainly not least Luke's goose! This should be interesting. Needless to say he will be the only one eating goose tonight but at least I know that if ever the world comes to an utter disaster "my man" will be able to kill me some food! We even have homemade fudge which may be shocking to some of you but yes this year I mastered a fudge recipe. I am woman hear me roar!!!!! We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Warm Wishes

I love being a parent! I had the pleasure of taking Brooke to see the Nutcracker for the first time this weekend. The excitement was huge. Our seats were only four rows back from the stage and Brooke was right on the isle. At first she was a little nervous, just not knowing what to expect, but then it began. The excitement and joy on her face was priceless and worth all the sassy moments! My role as a mother was narrator as Brooke had lots of questions, "why aren't they talking", "when are they going to talk", "what does the Nutcracker have in his pants" (that was my favorite.) So on this occasion I leave you all with a bit of advice have the curiosity of a child, laugh like it is always the funniest thing you ever heard and run like you are being chased. Childhood is a Great Thing!
