Sunday Dinner

Had such a fun day today! Wes went into work for a few hours this morning and I got to sleep in about an hour! Bliss! Got up and read the Sunday paper and Tiffany showed up with Works Bagels for Breakfast. We visited for a bit and then she had to do some shopping. I popped a roast into the crockpot with some seasoning and went about my day. We met up with Beckie, Matt, Chris & Tiffany for lunch at Taco Loco. Because it's Christmas they had Tamales on the menu and boy were they ever good. Then we took a walk along Arroyo Grande creek. Snapped some cute pictures of Scott. He's such a cutey!


Check out these crazy chickens. Arroyo Grande is known for having chickens that parade around the "Old Town" section and sleep down by the creek. The rumor is that they escaped from the local meat market. Do you think these want to go back? The only question for me is why were they advertising Tri-Tip sandwiches with all these fine birds volunteering for the sandwiches?


Then we decided to run out to Avila Barn where they are beginning their 50% off sales. We took Christmas pictures of Mathew, Beckie & Scott....

and then shopped the sales. Here is what I picked out. These cute little ornaments started out as $3.95 and Wes said I could only get 10. Well, to tell you the truth, 10 would be about all that would fit my tiny tree! So I paid for 5 and got 5 for free.


We have ornaments on our little tree right now, old, no REALLY old Carl's Jr. felt Star ornaments. I might leave them on and add to them, not sure yet. 

When we came home, you should have smelled the house. Reminded me of when I was a kid. You'd be walking down the street you lived on and smell food cooking that smelled SO good you hoped it was your house! Then you walk in and find out it is! We had roast beef, vegetables, biscuits dripping with real butter and lemon bars for dessert. I just love old-fashioned Sunday dinners gathered with family.

Baby Shower Busy-ness

Ok, you probably thought I fell off the face of the earth right? Nope, there is just alot happening around here. The next event is Beckie's Baby Shower this Sunday. Decided to make my very first Diaper Cake and these are just a few of the pictures. The first thing I did was watch about 20 YouTube videos describing how to do it. Then I bought my supplies and put it together roughly first then more refined about a day later. This is a close up of the baby sock roses with mitten leaves. Yes, that video DOES exist! Next is a close up of wrist rattles and a little caterpiller radio that makes soothing sounds for baby. Background ribbon is from WalMart and the blanket set is from the Jungle Adventure Collection at K-mart. The topper for our "Jungle" themed cake is a Silver Back Ganz Gorilla . These little links slipped easily over the ribbon and added a little extra bling to the sides of the cake. Each layer consists of diapers along with extras like washcloths, burp pads and

Norwegian Pancakes (Norska Pannekaken)

Every culture has its pancake and this is the Norwegian version, a very light, crepe-like pancake that goes with just about anything. These "pancakes" are light and eggy and go with both sweet and savory fillings. When my chickens start up laying eggs in the Spring, we LOVE to make these pancakes, freezing the excess for another day. Yes, they freeze and thaw perfectly! Most people have the simple ingredients on their shelves and in their refrigerators SO LET'S GO! Original Recipe Can Be Found on the Outside Oslo Website   Here .

Gratitude

Looky what came yesterday! My Word of the Year Necklace created by Lisa Leonard ! As the New Year approached I decided to choose a word that would define my upcoming year and I chose Gratitude. Around Thanksgiving, I set up my new blog, " I Am Thankful For..." and started keeping a daily journal of all the things I have to be Thankful, or Grateful for. Each day I would review my day in my head and list at least 5 things I had to be Grateful For. It has changed the way I approach each day tending to look for the positive instead of the negative in what life has to offer. If you'd like to find your word of the year, visit Christine Kanes' website  and pick a word of the year for yourself. Then I'd hop on over to the Lisa Leonard site and pick a wonderful necklace stating your intention for the year!
