More Thanksgiving fun...

While most people were out shopping on Friday, the girls and I stayed home and experimented with some new fudge recipes. Since Jaelyn is a chocolate freak loves chocolate, she volunteered to make the Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge with me. We put a bit too much green food coloring in it, but other than the bright color, it tastes delicious, and was very simple to make.

In honor of Kellen, we got more adventuresome. Kaia helped me make the Eggnog Fudge. Being that I am not an eggnog lover, I thought it would be good to make something I would not be tempted to eat, but I was wrong. It's pretty tasty; not as sweet as the first one, but has good texture, and melts in your mouth.

Was fun to get my girls in the kitchen, and worked well having just one of them with me at a time.  Now we are taking advantage of a mild day and getting our lights up.  And when I say mild, I mean the sun is shining, and not windy, but it is just 36°, which is cold for us.

Thanksgiving Photo Vote...

Yesterday we had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! Can't get much better than a shockingly nearly 60° and rain free day, filled with family, wonderful food, Apples to Apples, all followed by a Seahawk win over the 49ers!

We are so blessed! After a quick visit, Josh heads back to school today, ahead of the next snowfall in the mountains, and so that he can attend tomorrow's Apple Cup. Go Cougs! He will be home in three short weeks. Love having the family all together. And I can't even begin to touch how much we have to be so Thankful for!

Here's where I need your vote. Every year my mother-in-law asks for a photo for her Christmas letter from each of her four boys' families. So we had a photo session yesterday, albeit a silly one, and now I need to choose just one. The family has differing opinions, so we need you to cast your vote...

Not bad for my cheap camera and a self timer, right?  I need to get the winning photo printed and in the mail (the old fashioned way) asap, so would love to hear your opinion soon.  Hope your family had as much fun as we did.
