The Baker's Bake :)

I whipped up a double batch of grammas roll dough and we made 5 loaves of bread, 1 loaf of cinnamon bread, 1 dozen cinnamon rolls and 3 tea braids. I roped this handsome fella into helping me so he could learn the trade :) he did a great job :) the house smells amazing now!

Warmth, Lunch, and Ice Skating

I am absolutely living our wood burner right now. It makes the house very warm and cozy. 

I had lunch with these fun loving people at the ginger bistro. Don't they look thrilled ? Some of us were going to go ice skating afterwards, but claiming oncoming frostbite, three if them bailed so just two of us took up the ice skating challenge. 

The skates are hard to tie!

Needless to say we had a blast and warmed up with Starbucks afterwards!

Peoria Farm Show with the boys

Thursday I had the opportunity to join Dad, Sam, Dan , and Jaketo walk around the Peoria farm show. I didn't tell Bryce we were going so we surprised him since he was working at the show. 

The boys had a great time. They wanted to climb into every piece of equipment and play with the "games" aka displays. 

Thanksgiving

We were very excited and blessed  to have Bryce's parents, his sister Brenda, his grandparents, my grandparents, and my family over for thanksgiving dinner. There was tons of delicious food and great conversation and fun and memories. We got to sing together and play together and even start a fire in the wood burner to get the house cozy warm     . Then on Friday we shopped til we dropped and ate at granite city. Yummy! Saturday Brenda had to leave, but not before learning how to shoot. More posts on that later when I can get videos to load.
