Thanksgiving Fun

Had two Thanksgivings this year. The first one was with my daughter-in-laws family and so much delicious food. Then we played a game we all love to play and have so much fun doing it. Her mother brought a whole bunch of cookbooks that looked like new. We were able to take home any and all we wanted. I picked out 3 each for my twin girls. I know they will enjoy them. Then the next day we went to a grandson's home and there celebrated their little one year old's birthday and had treats, punch and cake. A couple hours later had another feast. I had a wonderful time. Now the cold has set in and it is only 9 degrees and the wind chill is way below zero. I am not going outside until tomorrow. It is supposed to start warming to the 20's. Doesn't sound like much but will be better than the terrible NW wind we have today. The sun is out and if you look out the window, it looks wonderful outside. But don't let it fool you. You will have frostbite in minutes or less.

What a Great Birthday I Had

What a great birthday I had. Many of my kids got together at a fabulous restaurant and we had such a good time. The food was wonderful and the waitress was so helpful and fast. They had a huge menu to choose from. A daughter baked a chocolate cake with cream filling and white frosting along and we had that after we ate. Another daughter brought a Birthday balloon as you can see in this picture and put it on the table with a bag of (yum) double chocolate dipped peanuts. A good time was had by all and the cameras were clicking off the pictures to remember the occasion. It was so much fun.

Chicken Fajitas

I don't know if I spelled that right but they sure are good. That is what I had tonight along with a hot Cappiccino. I haven't had one for quite awhile and it was delicious. It comes with sour cream and salsa and a side of lettuce, shredded cheese and tomatoe bits. My husband had his usual burito and Pepsi. He wasn't so hungry tonight so didn't get the super size. We had a great talk with the manager about all the flooding in their town. We enjoy getting out like that for a change.
