Thanksgiving day at Nana's and Papa's!

On Saturday we went to my Mom's parents.
It was SO much fun seeing everyone!
Amy was up again from Georgia, with her family.
I can not believe how big Nathan is getting!

Here are some picture:

Baby Nathan yet again!:)

I tagged some people on the first post for today, make sure you take a look!

We have finally eaten all the leftovers! Today we get to go over and have Thanksgiving with my Mom's family. Sunday I will be posting a lot. I just don't have time right now. I went to bed at 12:30 and woke up at 7:00, So Anna is still really sleepy!:)

BTW, a lot of us have this cold and can't talk. So the one's that have it are going around whispering. (I have yet to get it, I think it is because I drink a lot of white tea and it helps to prevent colds.) I think the Taylor's gave it to us!;)

Well.....this was really just a lot of rambling, so I better go.

My week

Ok, so I realized that I have just been posted pictures this week and not really saying anything about what we've been doing. So here is what we did this week!

Monday : Music, My Dad went out of town for the week, Sarah had Bible study, and we went to my Grandparents.
Tuesday : We practice with a group that was chosen from DUSS to play for the DAC.
Wednesday : Sarah, Sam and I played at the DAC! It was very cool!
Thursday : Sarah, Nick and I went to the Taylor's to help them sort books. We had Bear and deer spaghetti, It was very good!
Friday : We went to my cousin's play, it was a musical version of "The Lion the Witch and the wardrobe."We did not get home until 12:00 am!
Today: I went to Duke with Sarah, while she taught some of her violin students and I practiced my violin, tonight, my grandparents and cousin are coming over for dinner.
Tomorrow : My cousin, David is coming to spend a "while" at our house.

Well..... that's all I can remember about this week.
Hope everyone has an awsome weekend!

Baking and Snow!!

Right before the buckeyes go in the freezer.

My beautiful buckeyes all ready to eat!!

All my buckeyes in there containers.

Sesame Street chocolates!!

Hearts and bear Chocolates!

Also, William and Sarah did not leave the B's house this morning, because they got snowed in!! They brought William's little car, that can't drive through the snow. When MR. B. called us they were outside in shorts and t shirts making snow angles! Romulus NY has closed all the schools, which they almost NEVER do, because of the snow !! Hopefully they will be home by Sunday!!

World Pie Championship!

This mouth watering news out of Scotland, the World Pie Championship has started!! This competition with over 70 bakers and butchers taking part is something that sounds like it would be an awesome event to judge. To walk among rows of beautiful pies, to smell their wonderful aroma waifing through the room must be a glorious experience for the judges! Just so you know these are not plate sized, fruit pies that are sweet as one might think. They are small enough to fit in your hand and are filled with meat and a carefully blended mix of spices and herbs as well as other ingredients. Mmm, just thinking about this is making my stomach growl. Some pictures:

Yard maintenance crew

Unknown to most of our friends is the fact we have a yard maintenance crew. This is not just any yard maintenance crew, this is a crew comprised entirely of deer! Sorry the pictures are a tad small, just click one to view it full screen.


Everybody smiling at the camera :)

Back to work!

Unfortunately, since the deer yard maintenance union has no restrictions on age, fawns doing the work of full grown deer has become an issue.

Food part 2

I felt the need for a correction to Sarah's food post was in order, while it looks quite nice in that picture all arranged, that was actually not what Sarah's plate she ate from looked like. Sarah hates peas so those were not on her plate and she also did not have any bread! This was Sarah's actual plate: :p

That white stuff is a non-toxic kind of mold Sarah is rather addicted to....

Food!

Apparently, one of the current trends of blogging (at least for girls) is to make dinner and then post a picture of said dinner on a plate arranged all pretty like. So, tonight I was inspired to post my dinner. But first some background.....It all began around 5:00. My mom was in the kitchen just starting to cut up some chicken into small chunks. Now, if you have cooked a lot, you know that chicken cuts better when it is frozen. Not completely frozen because then you can break your knife,(not a good thing to do) but still frozen enough that the chicken is still kinda hard. So, anyway my mom said, "what should we have for dinner? I have this chicken and some mushrooms in the fridge." My first thought was Domino's jk, no I thought chicken marsala. Off I go to the computer to look up the recipe. Finding one, my mom and I work together to fix the recipe. (This involves me talking and chopping mushrooms while my mom does everything else. Notice I put talking first, it is something I am VERY good at. :)The dish turned out great. Everyone really like it, even Nicholas. We didn't have the right kind of wine (marsala) so we just mixed two kinds that we had.

Interruption

This is a news bulletin from the great places to eat for cheap foundation. The Italian restaurant chain, Olive Garden has restarted their unlimited pasta, salad and bread sticks for 8.95 promotion!

No news yet on a never ending TUMS promotion to go with this....
