Holiday Fun

This past weekend was a great family weekend. Friday night James and I went to his sister Lisa's house and for dinner and a movie. We had taco's and brownies for dessert and then ate popcorn as well while we watched Horton hears a Who. We all loved the movie. it was the first time any of us had seen it. James and I highly recommend it. :) Then on Sat. because of the baby blessing mom invited us over to help prepare food for that as well as Christmas. The whole day was a girls day full of baking, laughing, sore hands and feet. We had a lot of fun. my mother in law makes these french pastries that are oh so yummy...but very messy to make... These are kinda what they look like. They aren't finished and I forgot to get a picture of the finished product but we take butter creme frosting and do pretty designs on top or do a border with cherries in the middle. They are VERY yummy and a huge hit at the blessing. We also did sugar cookies and frosting,crepes and chili for later that night. Dad and James came home later after all the baking was done to have chili with us. Abby being silly. We were all feeling a little goofy after all that baking.
