Welcome to the Family

This is our new dog, Cooper! We rescued him from someone who didn't have enough space or time for him. He's about 3 years old and so well behaved. He's half beagle and half blood hound. We've had him for a week now and have really enjoyed him. He's so good with the girls and the neighborhood kids. We're happy to have him as the newest member of our family.

So Addie came home from school over Thanksgiving break with a project. She had the outline of a gingerbread man and needed to decorate it and bring it back to school. I made copies for each of us and we all sat down and decorated our gingerbread men. We used brown sugar, sprinkles, decorating sugar, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. They sure smelled good enough to eat!

So I don't know who all out there in blogger land reads my blog, but I tag Beth S. Sunny T., Jennifer S., Kristi Ann B., Aimee B., and Julie H. Have fun, ladies!

Breakfast In Bed

Addie brought me breakfast in bed this morning. So sweet! This is what I found when I came out to the kitchen and dining room:

The cereal is kept on the top shelf (may need to re-think that on). She brought a chair over to get it down.

Cheerios for Addie (with LOTS of sugar...there was so much sugar in the bottom of her bowl that it never melted!), "pinenests" for mommy.

The Fiber One is my mom's, but she thought I might like it too. She thought it looked like "pinenests from out in the back yard". Too cute. That's a brownie on the plate, by the way. I guess that's how she was keeping her energy up while preparing breakfast.

The tray was up on top of the china cabinet for some reason. She said she tried to reach it and with just the chair,but couldn't, so went and got a phone book. Apparently this was repeated 3 times until she could finally reach it!

The labor of her love. With napkin notes and....the sugar shaker!

(Apparently you can never have to much sugar!)

It says "Mom I love you!" on mine, and "Addie love you, too!" on hers.

She was so proud that she made the 'o' of the you shaped like a heart.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, ADDIE BOO!
