Happy Thanksgiving 2007





We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Tiffany and Mike's house. The girls helped prepare rasberry sauce for Poppy's chocolate mousse. Also they washed and cut the green beans and mushrooms for the green bean casserole. Things moved a bit slower while they were helping but it was nice having some family time in the kitchen with us all working together.

I've still not managed to perform the Thanksgiving feast myself but I'm enjoying prepping the girls and by the time I'm ready, they will know how to make the sides so I'll just have to focus on the turkey. Just kidding, sortof.

We had the added bonus of a second Thanksgiving feast over at Lauren and Brad's house. The girls played with Dani and Hailey and we even trimmed the tree after a wonderful meal.

We are most thankful for God and his grace and our wonderful friends who give us more than we deserve.

Soup Warms the Soul



The weather is cooler and we love to make soup. I've already got tortilla soup, potato soup, and beef vegetable in the freezer. This year we're going to make chili, french onion soup, chicken noodle and pho. The girls love soup, some better than others. Basically anything with noodles or a good broth is well received.

Bathtime 2007



The girls still enjoy taking baths together. Although the bigger they become, the smaller the tub seems. I'm not looking forward to splitting bathtime up but I may have to soon since they are both a little rambunctious in the water.
