Hello all! Well this week things were a little slower than last week, but sometimes it's nice to not have to run around all the time. We did get a snowstorm Friday night/Saturday morning and the temperatures plummeted. I think the high on Saturday was 4 F, but there was plenty of snow so we couldn't stay inside!
Earlier this week we started working on Christmas treats. Monica made fudge and toffee to take to people, and we made some ginger bread cookies together. We of course decorated them! Here's a tree I made:
And here's the cookie Brooke decorated! The hardest part was definitely getting her to not just shove candy in her mouth!
And like good parents we let her take a few bites!
On Saturday morning while Brooke was having breakfast the neighbor was in their back yard clearing snow off of their hot tub, and Brooke thought it was amazing. She totally zoned out for a minute or two. No noises, didn't look at us when we talked to her, didn't care about food, just stared as the neighbor cleared off the hot tub.
Later that day we headed into the winter chill to play in the snow. Brooke loves to be out in the snow! She doesn't do much playing yet. I tried to hand her snowballs and such but she'd just kinda tap them in my hand and that was it. So I had to help her throw them at Monica!!!
Teammates!!
Saturday night we got invited to a tamale party! It was at the Robinson's house (I helped Joe with math last year). The food was great and we had a lot of fun. We let Brooke down to roam and she had a blast! Which is good because we were there till 7 and she usually won't stay up past 6:15! I believe I heard her say she made 120 tamales!!! Crazy! And all the ones I ate were very good! Robinsons, if you read this, thanks again!!
Well, I think that covers everything for this week! I hope everyone is doing great out there!
