Happy 11th Birthday!

Yep, my oldest is 11! He was actually 11 almost a month ago, we had the party late. I tried to make it a surprise party but you all know how hard it is to keep something a secret from a child.


If you're wondering how I made this monster pastry you can see the recipe at Zaar. I love the Zaar.

Christmas 2009

We had a lazy family day with lots of fun, movies and food. Oh we painted the master bath too but that wasn't fun.

Santa left some press-on nails:



The afternoon held the movies for us. I was amazed at how empty the town was. Not even McDonalds was open.

After Avatar and The Princess and the Frog, we headed home and made the best French Onion Soup. So good I can't even remember what else we had.
