Tree lighting and Santa

I'm not sure what this face is.
Big Cheese!

So happy to see Santa!

Deceptively Delicious

I'm sure you've heard about this cookbook written by, Jessica Seinfield. I've been wanting to get a copy of it but just never did.

When I was in the library last week I saw it sitting on the shelf so I grabbed it, I have been impressed with some of the recipes.

However the thought of puree all the food to make these meals is a lot of work for me. I'm not one to spend an extra amout of time in the kitchen. I did however come up with the idea to purchase baby food to add into some of my foods. At least hte ones that I could purchase, there are a few that I'd need to puree myself but buying it would cut down my prep time.

My friend either has the book or read it. And mentioned the amount of veggies they are getting in the serving is very small. My kids don't eat veggies or fruits so even the very small amount they'd get would make me happy. Especially if they didn't know they were eating it.

When I finally get to try these recipes out I'll let you know what the kids thought of them.

I'm definitly team Jacob now!

I was able to see New Moon this week with my friend, her mom and a few other people. While I read the series I was always undecided as to who I was rooting for but after seeing this book on screen, there is so doubt while I'm alligning myself.

This movie was done much better than Twilight. The script was a lot closer to the book maybe even right on at every point but I can't say that for certain since it's been a year since I read the book and they seem to mesh all together in my mind now.

My only complaint would be that a few of the characters makeup didn't look like they did in the first movie. I thought a few of them looked much BETTER.

I'm already planning on seeing it again in the theater. It was so good. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

O Christmas Tree

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving!

We went to my brothers for Thanksgiving this year. My mom flew down the week before to his house. We had a great time (except the missing Josh part). The girls just love their cousins. Avery is so attached to her Samanfa. It's the cutest thing to watch. There's 13 yrs difference between them. Aynslee loves to play horses with Brooke. My mom rode back with us and will be here a week.

I was able to get out in the garage yesterday after we got home and get out some of the Christmas decorations. I guess today we'll get our tree. I'm hoping it lasts until after Christmas. It's been a while since we had a real tree. I really dislike the fake tree, fluffing the branches, etc. Not to mention it's lack of real tree smell.

Hopefully I'll remember the camera to take a few pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Picture Preview

On Friday I met some friends on base to take some family pictures for them. I decided to try to take pictures of the girls in their Christmas dresses. I found this spot on base that I thought would be a nice place with the river in the background. The one of Spice is the only one I got of her alone that was decent. She was in a bad mood. She had fallen asleep on the way there and woke up grouchy. The ones of Sugar were 2 of my favorite. I was only able to take one of them together and it's not that good. So we are going to try it again another day. I think I'd rather have pictures of them outside than doing the traditional cheesy Christmas background. If I can't get any good ones of the two of them then I'll just take them in and ask for a plan background.

I'm learning how to use the editing software I have and so I played around with Spices until I got it how I wanted it. I like how it's old looking but still has color in it.
