It's That Time of Year Again

Making Great Great Grandma Catarina's Ravioli!

Sickies

I'm happy that it's the season of Christmas. I'm happy that people can focus on Christ and make our homes beautiful to distract us from the weather. I'm happy for the excuses to party and spend time with family. I'm happy that people are in the spirit of giving.

I'm not happy that it's flu season.

(the lump on the couch is Sofie falling asleep for the night at 6 pm after taking 2 naps already)

Both girls got pretty sick, and Mei's still suffering :( We're lucky nobody has the stomach flu, but the fever, crying, coughing, congestion, snotty faces, all-nighters, isolation, and overall grouchiness is all stuff I could do without. Poor Mei has had one thing after another since Thanksgiving day. I just want her better!!

November Came and Went

We spent lots of time with family

I don't have any pictures of Thanksgiving, but we did celebrate and it was great!

Movie night with cousins. We devoured 2 dozen pumpkin cookies before the movie was halfway over.

Derek turned 29! We had a little gathering with nearby family.

I made my first cake from scratch. It was a Caramel Apple cake. Most delicious cake I've ever eaten in my entire life. I was pretty happy with it. My first try at buttercream frosting too.

Silly girls.
