My "American Girl"

My little "American Girl" received an American Girl doll from her grandparents, Mauw & Papaw Boling for Christmas on Saturday. As you can see from Caroline's expression, we think she likes her ALOT. Her Bitty Baby's name is Samantha, oh wait she changed it. It's now Daisy. Nope, Casey. Oops still not right, I believe we are back to Samantha. I'll keep you updated on the name situation.

The First Snow

I love seeing the girls all bundled up in their winter gear.

They were so excited to see the first snow of the season.

Love that face!!

My silly, silly girl!

Happy Thanksgiving

From my family to yours... Happy Turkey Day!

Wordless Wednesday

Tasty Tuesday

In honor of Thanksgiving, here is one of my favorite holiday side dishes.

Sweet Potato Rounds

1 stick of butter/marg, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup coconut
2 trays sweet potato rounds - found in the frozen food section, near the frozen meat

Combine the butter, brown sugar, pecans and coconut in small bowl to make crumbly mixture. Lightly spray an oven proof pan and place the sweet potato rounds in a single layer. Place a heaping spoonful of crumb mixture on top of each sweet potato round.

Bake in a 350 degree oven until the sweet potatoes are heated through. Approx. 20-25 minutes.

Blue Man Crew

Why do they always have to choose the blue sucker?
