For Birthdays we always serve breakfast in bed, well Jacob decided its to hard to eat food in bed so...he had breakfast served in the living room. The dog continued to bug him for a bite without any satisfaction....Happy 18th Birthday we love you Jacob!!

Caleb GETS to serve Jacob breakfast :)

Christmas at Rachel's

We drove over to my sister Rachel's house and enjoyed a nice evening. If my sister is breathing then she is doing some sort of remodeling to her house. She always has some project going...spring, winter, summer and fall!! So since part of her house was being reconstructed we had dinner in one of the empty rooms. But it turned out very beautiful and a awesome menu, which included....Sirloin Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Rolls, Potato Mix (which was sweet potatoes and white potatoes, with half and half, garlic and cheese I think, baked in the oven...delish!!)then two salads, and a whole dessert table too good to even think about!!

Christmas at Grandma's

This year Christmas went so fast but before you knew we were at grandma's having breakfast. On the menu was Spiral Ham, Eggs, Cheesy Hash-browns, Cardamon Coffee Yeast Braid (Bread), Cinnamon twists and a Fruit Dish. As you can tell by my Pics on this blog we get together often and ....eat!! We also had some friends over and enjoyed stuffing our faces!!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning starts at 6:45 am, they open Christmas stockings and then we all try and assemble our sleepy selves into the living room. What a fun time even Lizzy the poodle was excited to open her presents..LOL at least we would like to think so.
