Thanksgiving

Well....we weren't very good in the picture taking department....but we managed to get a few fun pics. The first is of Trae and I on stuffing duty. Trae was a pretty good helper. He was having a great time tearing up the bread. The second picture is of Gracee (Addi's new cousin) and Addison. There sure is a size difference between these two.... We're a little concerned Addi is not getting enough to eat...what do you think? :)

Our Sweet Addi

Tonight we went to Brennon's flag football game (they won by the way). When we were putting Addi back in the car, she was fast asleep in this postion. I couldn't help but think what a sweet little gift that we were given. She will be 3 months old on Saturday.....time sure does fly.

Murder Mystery

I know that Halloween was a while ago.... But I still wanted share our Murder Mystery Dinner pictures. On Halloween we got together with some of our friend at our house. I had never done a murder mystery dinner before, so it was a fun experience. Brennon was a Judge and I was a fashion designer from France (hence the beret). We started with some chili and bake potatoes thanks to Melissa. Each person,was given a character to portray in the murder mystery along with information about the characters background and relation to the victim. We ended with some yummie dessert. It was a great time had by all.

For all you Peanut Butter Lovers!

Well, about a week ago Brennon had a bad day. So I decided to make his favorite cookies.... Peanut Butter. I decided to find a recipe on the internet to try. I found this recipe, and decided to try it....Well bren took some cookies to have on his way to school. He called me a few minutes after leaving to tell me that these peanut butter cookies were that best that he had ever had. If you are a peanut butter cookie lover. You should give this recipe a try. Let me know if you like it.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Cream the butter for 2 minutes. Add the sugars, cream for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir into the sugar butter mixture.

2 Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours. ( I refrigerated for only about 2 hours and they worked out just fine.)

3 Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

For chewier cookies, bake at 300°F for 15 minutes.

The Quilt

Well, I decided to share some pictures of my finished quilt, for Addi's room, with everyone. I would say I did pretty well for my first quilt. I finished the quilt before Addi was born, so it's a bit late. Better late then never though.

This is One Sweet Lemon!

Last Sunday Addi wore the new Lemon outfit that her Grandma Lisa bought for her. It's a little big on her, but the way she grows, she'll be too big for it sooner than we know.
