Catching up

It's been a while since I posted mostly because

it's been a busy few days.  Last week my mom

came with me to Daycare for the whole day so

we started with story time at Andrew's with

Briggs and Everleigh.

Ethan and GG

 Later that same day we were at Everleigh

and Briggs' and more stories

 Dec 21 Greg and I flew to Florida for

Christmas weekend with the Ketcher

boys and Greg's mother...oh, and Chad

and LoriAnn, too.

I stirred up spritz cookies but the spritzer broke with

the first cookie so we improvised with "reverse" spritz:

Rolled out dough which we used the spritz cams to

press imprints and then sprinkle (of course).

They tasted great though!

Christmas Eve Loriann and Chad cooked an incredible

meal of roasted turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy,

corn, green bean casserole, creamed spinach, candied yams

and much more...followed by 3 different pies.

a gift from the ketcher family....a tote bag with

my name on it....love it.

The boys had a gift for Greg as well.

Christmas Eve 2012 with Chad Ketcher Family

Then home Christmas Day for Christmas with the

Swensons, MN Ketchers and my mom.  Here

she is with Briggs.

Sue and Julie stopped by, too.

Ethan's first Christmas so he got his own rocker.

I brought back a Darth Vader costume from the Florida

Ketchers and Andrew spent the rest of the day that way.

Well...we got him to switch to his new jammies for a

couple of group pictures.  And yes, Ethan is crying.

Gotta love it!

Happy New Year!
