January

Life has been so busy the past few months! I can hardly catch my breath at night before another whirlwind day begins. I guess I'd better begin my catch up... starting with after the snow in January.

After all the snow we got cabin fever. I didn't want to get out around all the flu bugs going around so we spent lots of time visiting family and playing with our germaphobic friends. ;) See the apron Mimmie is wearing? I made it for her at my first year of Young Women's Camp at Camp Jackson in 1999. She wears it every time she cooks.
One of Addie's favorite things to do is to help in the kitchen and she LOVES to make tea cakes with Mimmie. So Mimmie and Addie made tea cakes and tea cake dolls during one of our visits in January. So fun! One thing that stands out in my mind from growing up and visiting Mimmie is she always had Red Hots for when we made tea cakes. Addie loved decorating with the Red Hots.



We spent lots of time with our friends too! We enjoyed a dinner out at PF Changs one night and Addie and Trevor were too cute with the horses out front. Addie got scared by the time I pulled out my camera, but they are so fun together!Darn me for not having my good camera with me at all times! They are so sweet together. Today Addie told Grandma on the way home from the library "I'm gonna marry Trevor and Trevor is gonna marry me! We are gonna live in a house tree and we are gonna swim in it and have lots of toys. Then I'm gonna have a baby in my tummy!"... oh dear! LOL!
In other January news... our utility bill was a whopping $790!!! And we kept the thermostat between 70 and 72! That tells you how frigid our winter was because we have new vinyl windows!
