This week I'm thrilled to be doing the weekly wrap up link up with one of my favorite blogs, E Tells Tales
So...Our week in review:
This weekend the boys and I went to a Christmas Storybook land with my good friend & her family. D had SO much fun (once he got over being scared of Santa). He and the other D loved looking at all of the depictions of stories decorated for Christmas. Talking to Santa was still a bit much for him, so we skipped that, but I did have to find a "candy-candy" (which is a candy cane, if you were wondering) for him, because otherwise he was NOT leaving! B slept most of the time, and was pushed by my friend's mom. When he woke up & realized it wasn't me pushing him he was NOT pleased! He spent the rest of the time giving her the stink-eye.
We also went to go cut down our Christmas tree! It was so fun to have our whole family together & the Christmas tree farm we go to is super cute! They have goats! Once Josh finished his tree-putting-up job, D and I had a great time decorating the tree and drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies. He, D, is SO proud of having helped decorate the tree, and it is SO fun to share ornaments from when I was a baby with him.
This week I also tried my hand at a couple of pinterest ideas. I had made this delicious squash for Thanksgiving, even my FIL, known squash hater, loved it. I thought it might be good mixed into a risotto, and it was Delish! Great with pork chops and buerre blanc!
I also found this recipe for funfetti fudge, and HAD to try it--LOVE Funfetti! I made it last night, using green, red, and white sprinkles. It is yummy, and SO easy to make! I can't wait to try the peppermint variation The picture isn't great, but I assure you, the fudge is!
I also had a rare technical success- I finally fixed our router, so we can watch Netflix on our wii! I would say it was the best idea ever, but now D only ever wants to watch Spiderman, so it may have backfired!
