Yumm! :o) I made "Breakfast Surprise" last Saturday. I just had to snap a shot of it as it was coming out of the oven! 
By the way...I took most of these pictures and Dad took one. :o)To the tune of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something
Lyrics-
You said you've got nothing in common
With the candidates to choose from
And you're losing heart
You'll say the Big Three don't do it for you
Their negative ads bore youAnd you just might stay home
So I said, "What about voting for Huckabee?"
She said, "I think I remember that man,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked him."
And I said, "Well, he's the best hope we've got."
You see he's the only one who's for them
Faith, Family and Freedom
In the right order
So what now?
It seems he's the best for us
He's even got Chuck Norris
Telling us how it's gonna be
(When the eyes of the ranger fall upon youYou better like Mike)
So I said, "What about voting for Huckabee?"
She said, "I think I remember that man,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked him."
And I said, "Well, he's the best hope we've got."
We planted 50 Noble Fir trees on our
property roughly 6 or 7 years ago.
This year we cut down our first
home-grown tree! It is over 10 feet tall!!!
All was well early on the morning of December 13th, St. Lucia Day. The cinnamon rolls rose wonderfully and came out bubbling and golden brown, perfect! The hot cocoa didn't burn and there were plenty of mini-marshmallows to top the children's cocoa. All the batteries in my "candles" were working and I even found a red ribbon to wear! On my way downstairs to the boys' bedroom I tripped on the second to the last stair but recovered nicely and didn't loose the tray of goodies.
On my way upstairs to visit my littlest sister I tripped again , only this time as I was almost to the top...I lost everything! Cocoa was dripping down the stairs and all over me. I was alright and walked away with just a bruised shin. (Those wooden stairs are sharp!) Everyone was so sympathetic they even brought me breakfast in bed the next morning! Ben (7) really liked the idea, so the next morning he decided to get up bright (I should say dark!) and early and cooked all of us eggs! His service comes a little earlier than I'd like on a weekend...I happened to glance at the clock while turing over and it was 5:45a.m. 
(To find out more about St. Lucia Day read my previous post about it.)
Ever since my family read about the von Trapp family's advent wreath that they hung from their ceiling in Austria two years ago, we've wanted to make one too. Only this year have we finally got around to it! It was perfect timing...the power was out, due to the tremendous storm that passed through our area earlier this week. Of the numerous trees that were down blocking our driveway one so happened to be a holly tree and there were a few Cedar boughs laying about. I butchered the holly tree and gathered the boughs...
I'm very pleased with how it turned out! Ben had saved the metal from a wreath from last year (for some odd reason!) and we had been using it to hang out barn coats on! Very handy and it looked kind of rustic too. So, I just "borrowed" it and used it for the base. It is now haning from a log over our dining room table. It was lots of fun and kind of romantic eating by the cadle light shed above us from the wreath while we ate our dinner with the power out under our Advent wreath! "Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!"
And of course I had to include the decorations I added beneath my American Indian "ancestors". ;)
Yes...this is what Kami and I are playing along with three other girls. We're planning on playing it for Christmas in church. It's uh...16 pages long. :o)
"Why don't you want to go to college?"
"How are you going to learn to support yourself--say if something happened to your husband, or you never find a husband?"
"How else are you going to meet interesting people and get the social experience you'll need for real life?"
"How will you get a good education otherwise?"
"What are you going to do with yourself if you don't go to college?"
Why Aren't You Going to College?:

This is a hilarous spoof! You may recognize some of the actors off of the winner of the 2006 SAICFF, The Oath. These are the same guys.

Quotes: Hmmm...he doesn't talk much. I think he's more of a deep character. So, no quotes that I can thing of.
