This girl…

loves to eat, just like me!

The boys are home, not feeling so well so it was only Chloe and I who went to church this morning. So we had a lovely lunch afterwards just the two of us and went to Barns & Nobles (her favorite place!) and bought many books for her to read. 🙂

Chloe introduced the 5th grader orchestra’s first music! She didn’t tell me she was going to be up there presenting so I totally missed videotaping her first part where she was introducing herself in the beginning. So did great! So proud of her!

Chloe wanted to cut her short and she looks so adorable!

Chloe’s been dog sitting this week and I have to say she is THE BEST dog sitter! She wakes up super early every morning to walk him even in the freezing rain and snowy weather, she cleans dirt off his paws, feeds him, plays with him and she even bathes him! Rex, I hope you had a wonderful time with us. You lucky dog!

I’ve been cooking a lot this week to make up for last few weeks of eating poorly. I need to beef up my kids! The last two weeks, our schedules have been so crazy, I did a lot of ordering food and buying prepared food on the go in-between kids activities. 

This weeks specials including: Korean Short Rib

Truffle butter pasta

French Toast

Butternut squash salad

We also hosted last min, pot luck to get together with friends.

Tried making French onion burgers for the first time and it was pretty good!

Kids prayed for white Christmas and He answered their prayer! 🙂

Merry Christmas!

We are making Christmas tree spinach dip bread for an afternoon snack.
