Phillip makes Chex Mix!

Today Phillip made chex mix. He was pretty proud of himself! He did a great job, measuring and stirring, and being safe working around the oven. And it came out great - tastes WONDERFUL - the only problem is, it will be gone soon! I guess we will just have to have him make more!

Thanksgiving Feast!

We had a great Thanksgiving Feast! Teresa made the pumpkin pie on Wednesday, and she helped me with some other prep work. So on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, we had this wonderful HUGE feast - quite a bit for the four of us!!! :) Luckily, Anne & Alan and Abigail are coming on Friday to help eat the leftovers... so we get to have a SECOND Thanksgiving feast with the same stuff...

Happy Birthday, Teresa

Happy Birthday to Teresa! She turns 12 this month, we had her party last weekend. She had a Labyrinth theme, we made her a Labyrinth cake. We made a chocolate (devil's food, actually!) cake, and frosted it. Her father made the labyrinth on top of the cake using the fudge-covered graham crackers. It did turn out pretty well!

They had spaghetti for supper (and veggies), had birthday cake, and then Teresa opened presents... They also played several games, including Oodles and Pictionary, both before and after supper. Then we put on the movie Labyrinth.

I think everyone had a good time. I know Teresa did!

Friends!

What a fun day! We had Maggie's Baby Shower today. In the picture is Anne, with Abigail on her lap, Liz, Maggie, and me. Standing is Anne McClure (Annie), and Teresa.

Lots of other guests came... lots of food... FUN!
