Christmas Highlights

Pie Anyone?

It has been unreasonably warm here for December in Texas, so Hannah and I have been enjoying some outside time. Last week she decided she wanted to make some "Chocolate Pie."

I thought I would share her own personal recipe.

First, gather your favorite flowers, or those that have not died yet from the multiple freezes.

Try and avoid any Pansies or recently planted flowers.

Then place them in a half full watering can

Add some rocks, sticks and mulch as desired.

Stir until combined.

Then enjoy!!

That was one yummy Chocolate Pie I am never going to try!

Christmas Cookies

Hannah and I decided to make Christmas cut-out cookies today.

I am so loving that she is actually a good helper in the kitchen. We have been practicing weekly (at least) with making muffins from a box and she has memorized the recipe. Cookies from scratch was a lot more involved for her, but fun too!

Early Christmas

I need to be a little better at hiding Hannah's presents....

She found this lovely Dora guitar in the car and assumed it was hers to have immediately. With her new "Big Girl" attitude I was too stressed/exhausted/defeated to say no.

She does love it though. Pappy added the blue strap so it is even more special to her now.

I have some pretty good video of her playing it too if I can remember how to make the video work with blogger. :)

Halloween?

So...I know that we are already in the "Christmas" Season, even though it is still November. But, I just realized that I have not posted about Halloween!

I had a minor finger injury a few days before Halloween and had to go into emergency surgery on October 27th, so with recovering and running a sewing/embroidery business it has been a busy month!

Here are some of my Favorite picts from Halloween day! First we went to the Pumpkin Patch, then to Grandaddy's for a quick visit, then off to my Parents house for their annual family Halloween cookout.
