A Wedding

Over Christmas break Jeremiah's brother Micah got married. We are so excited. His beautiful bride Erin is so wonderful and such a great addition to the family. We are so lucky to have Micah and Erin living close by so we can see them often.

ANY ONE CAN COOK

My boys love the movie Ratatouille. Well one day I came home from work and there was a mess in the kitchen. There were traces of hot chocolate mix, eggs, and who knows what else. But I couldn't figure out where the main part of the mess was so I figured Jeremiah had done what he could before getting busy with the kids again. Later that day I thought Michael informed me he wanted to make cupcakes. I just told him we would do it later. So two days pass and we had the oven on cooking dinner and Jeremiah and I could smell something burning but couldn't figure out what was burning. Jeremiah opened up the broiler to find these.

Michael was so excited when he saw them. He pointed out his cupcakes and couldn't wait to eat them. So we let all the boys take a bite. Needless to say they weren't to tasty. Jeremiah informed the boys that they could not cook. William came back with "No Daddy anyone can cook"

Ginger Bread Houses

We have a tradition 2 years in the making with our good friend the Shea's of making ginger bread houses. Last years attempt took a few tries of figuring out how to get the wall to stay up. This year thanks for my sister -in-law Tiffani our ginger bread turned out wonderful and her sugar mixture to make the wall stick together was amazing (see Winward link).The only problem was we needed to triple the recipe to get more then one house. But we had a fun time all decorating one house together.


The house is finished
