2009I made this for a baby shower from a sweet little Christening gown pattern. A matching slip, dress, and bonnet that I could not bring myself to give it away. I’m too attached to this cotton candy adorableness.

A ThunderSnow is happening! This is what our world looks like right now. Forecast: 4-6 inches. Looks like Derek gets another three day weekend. HURRAY!
Time to enjoy the Christmas cocoa complete with Lucky Charms from Kaykers 😀

My dad makes the original cheesy egg thingy in a pan started on the stove and finished in the broiler. It usually contains only egg and cheese (sometimes meat) and a side of toppings, but I’m too lazy to do all the sides separate. This version was super simple and Derek loved it. Here’s what’s in it:
Carmelized Onions
Sausage links cut up
Apple cut up
7 eggs whisked with a squirt of milk and mustard.
Cheddar cheese on top (added halfway through the baking)
Baked at 400 til the middle is set.
(PS I did make a cake. It was yummy and I made Derek take the rest to work to give away. Thanks Kaykers for the cake flour tip. Mmmmm)

2009Last weeks excitement has totally worn me out! The visit from the nephews, Shepherding group, SCORE!, dance rehearsals and performances, scurrying to finish all the costumes, the list goes one… Whew! All I want to do is nap! I’m feeling pretty good today and managed to clear and reload the dishwasher (trust me: that is an accomplishment!) and am totally thinking about making a cake. Something about cake just sounds yummy right now. I wonder if I have the ingredients to make one? I may have to foray upstairs and get started… that is if the dishwasher will kindly release my mixer bowl…

2009The kiddos being silly 😀
There is Raleigh’s vest and brown jacket second from the left. I made Emma’s gown (the green satiny one) way back in October. I wish it were in my size!
Here are the ladies jacket and Justice’s vest and coat in action.
I love this tender moment between Emma and her dad Hank.
The whole group.
The Carolina English Country Dancers, of which I am a part, performed and taught the audience to dance at a wonderful Dinner Ball at Walnut Grove. We had so much fun!
