Silly Socks Day at Preschool

Those are some silly socks!
Today was silly socks day at Evelyne's preschool. We had fun making her stockings look silly. We used her halloween stockings from a couple of years ago and added some purple spider socks, some pink fabric tied under the knees, and some stretchy headbands around the ankles. We finished off the look by raising one side and lowering the other .... it was fun.


Uncle Gabe's Birthday

Gabe so surprised...we all pitched in for a guitar!
He's so excited
We celebrated my brother Gabe's birthday at Sadie's parents house this year. It was great fun and he was so happy to get a new guitar. Gabe "requested" that we all select a recipe to cook from our Barefoot contessa cookbooks. They all turned out amazingly well....we had....oven grilled shrimp, arugula salad with lemon & parmesean cheese, mustard roasted pork loin, lentils & carrot casserole, pineapple lemon cake (the cake wasn't one of Ina's recipes).
At the end of the evening we even had SNOW!
