lately

Here are tidbits of our life as of late:

1. Sweet potato fries: a delicious side!  I was even able to prepare these while Earnest napped.  Most days I still wait for the husband to come home before I start dinner.

2. A Date: We went out for dinner last week and had a splendid time.  I also only called the babysitter once (would have been three times if it weren't for the urging of my wise husband to just relax and enjoy the evening).

3. Advent Calendar Tradition: December days have been flying by. We've been recalling Christ's goodness and grace by reading Scripture or singing Hymns each day.  Do you have any Christmas traditions?

4. Curly Girl: Gemma found my sponge curlers from when I was a little girl!  She had to try them out of course...and this was the result!

5. Hello Handsome: Little Mister loves laying on his back and "talking".

6. Christmas Baking: I love the smell of Christmas cookies baking in the oven, don't you?

7. Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies: recipe soon to come :)

8. An Early Celebration: My little sister and her fiance will be in Wyoming for Christmas so we celebrated early with the family. 

9. A New Home: We helped Justine and Zach move some things into their soon-to-be first home.  They will only be 4 blocks from us!

Wishing you all a wonderful pre-Christmas week!
