SCRATCH COOKIN'

When we came back from break we had a week of scratch cooking classes. David had all day PTC which is pretty much doing maintenance around campus. Then I would go to one of the staff ladies houses for 2 hours each day and we would make different things from scratch, and have LOTS of samples too!! The following week we had to cook everything from scratch from Mon. to Friday! We ended the week off with a potlock... here are some pictures...

Christmas Break

We cannot believe Christmas Break is over! It was a fast and busy time... but we really enjoyed it! We spent a lot of time traveling to Michigan then to PA then to North Carolina, back to PA and back to Canada! Traveling is a bit different now with a little guy.... we felt so bad by the end packing him in that carseat! We spent our break visiting with lots of friends and family! David also was able to share a few times what we are wanting to do overseas which was really neat to get some opportunities to do that! We are so thankful for this enjoyable time and returning safely!So anyways I will try to narrow down the many many pictures I took! (My wonderful hubby who supposedly was "not getting me a Christmas present" got me a new camera, which I had lots of fun with!

A few things we have been doing lately....

The Beautiful Bride and I! We took a trip to PA to be a part of my bestfriend's Wedding!! It was wonderful to be able to go and also to get to catch up with and visit friends and family!

Us with my family! Unfortunately this is not the best look for some of the family members.. but Elijah's face is just way too cute in this one!

David's Family (His parents, Brother and sister-in-law and niece and nephew) came up to visit Thanksgiving weekend! We were so glad they were able to come visit...it made for a very full house and a crazy weekend.

We had an American Thanksgiving dinner! David made a very big Greenbean Casserole and I got to help decorate!

On Sunday, we finally got to decorate our place for Christmas... which is always a very fun day!
