The Story Of Us

This past weekend M and I both celebrated our birthdays. Saturday night we went out for dinner. One of our favorites even before the Covid. They have been doing a marvelous job with a tables placed great distances apart, sanitizing the tables after every course.  The kids couldn't agree on what dessert to order.. so as the little one  requested  huffed and puffed till we settled on a slice of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. I assumed being my birthday I'd at least be able to choose the flavor.  As you can see H was not pleased.  Sunday was M's birthday and we woke up to more snow. Could there be anything lovelier? Sunday was also Super Bowl. The boys in my house are all football lovers. So we made an event of it. We weren't rooting for any team in particular but were a little disappointed the game wasn't more of a nail bitter.                           Etsy        ...

If it was a normal year we would be on a hot beach somewhere soaking up the sun.. but this has been no normal year.. We are keeping spirits high though.. the snow filled past week really help amp up the joy. We have a slopping backyard which comes in really handy when it snows.. we had some neighborhood kids stop by and sled down as well. Keeping with the holiday spirit we decided to make cookie decorating kits for our friends and neighbors. I baked over sixty sugar cookies, packed little baggies of sprinkles and made colorful icing.. I had a bunch of pastel food coloring so our icing looks less Christmasy and more Easterish.  I'm going to be taking a blogging break for the rest of the year.. I wish you all a very Happy Holiday and New Year.                          Etsy             Instagram             Twitter            ...
