Some highlights...

Yes, I am fully aware that it's been over two months since I've posted anything. So, i thought I'd show you some highlights of what's been going on at our house.
First of all, Oliver had his third birthday. We celebrated by getting him a little cookie from the pet store. He was so excited about it.

Around mid-October I got adventurous with fall flavors and decided to make pumpkin cheesecake. Thanks to Nick and a few of his classmates, the entire cheesecake was polished off within just a few days of me making it.



Next came Thanksgiving weekend complete with - you guessed it - the Flaming Turkey. No, not that kind of flaming...there's real fire around this bird!

On Black Friday my brother & I ventured out around noon to see if he could snag an HDTV. Thankfully Sam's Club had exactly what he was looking for and he spent the rest of the day admiring his TV. Possibly admiring it a bit too closely...

And in early December I began making my holiday cookies. I was lucky enough to have my friend, Mary, join me for an afternoon filled with baking and fun. Here's Mary showing off her caramel-melting skills while chatting on the phone with her friend. Is there no limit to this woman's talent???


I know what you're thinking, 'did only good things happen to you for the past two months?' Well, there was one low light. Nick, along with one of his classmates, decided to adopt the Fu Manchu for 24 hours. It was horrifying. Luckily he shaved it off the next afternoon.

That about sums it up. Have a good night.
