Frosty...



So this month we have watched a lot of the TV special "frosty the snowman" since Daryl recorded it for the kids. So when there was finally enough snow to make a snow man the kids were out the door running. Emma was fast to tell me we needed a hat so he could come to life. As for Parker, he remembered from last year snow man making we need chocolate chips for eyes and carrot for the nose. Don't know what I would do without these two!

Thanksgiving




This post is a little late but better than not doing it at all- right. We had the best time in Reno. We went to Jaron and Jan's new house and got to see all my siblings and their kids. I believe there were 19 kids in all there. It was choas but so much fun. Jaron was nice enough to put those of us with little babies in a hotel! We had such a good time and are so glad we went. Parker is now talking about the car he got to drive there and kept telling us that is what he wanted from Santa. When he got just matchbox cars for Christmas we just pretended it was a misunderstanding- maybe next year!

Egg A La Goldenrod

This is a family favorite from growing up- easy, fast and ingredients you most likely already have.Parker's new favorite, he calls them "creamy eggs". As you can tell by the picture he was already trying to get his hands on them.

EGG A LA GOLDENROD 

1 stick butter
2 tbsp. flour
2 c. milk
6 eggs
6 slices toast

Melt butter and make paste with flour; add milk little at a time. Cook over medium heat until thick. Boil, peel, and separate eggs. Chop whites and add to sauce. Pour sauce mixture over toast. Press yolks through sieve and sprinkle over sauce. Garnish with parsley or orange slices. Serve hot. Pretty as well as good. May use 1 cup beef browned and drained instead of egg whites.
