Christmas Cheer!

We had friends drop by to bring some Christmas Cheer. They gave us a bottle of their first press of wine. The label says Singing Woods 2010 Pinot Noir. They picked the grapes and were coached through the whole process. How cool is that!

Twas the Night Before the Night Before Christmas

Amelia and Chris took ownership of their new house!!!!  We all met there to celebrate with a glass of champagne. Clark was running and jumping to show his enthusiasm for their new place. Chris helped Clark find the best hiding spot ever. It is a wonderful house and they will have many happy times there I'm sure. Congratulations!

Wreath the Halls with Tea?

For those of you who know about Paul's crazy obsession interest in tea....look what I made for him.

Spritz, The Next Generation!

Alli and Mimi made spritz at my house. Mom I remember you saying that you and Aunt ME would say "spritz" when the dough cookie was out of the press and on the pan. Amelia says something else. I got her to switch for like one pan but then she went back to splat or whatever she was saying. I had to get happy that I at least had spritz being made on the premises. Happy day.

Baby Girl Porter!

It's a girl!!! Isn't she lovely!  Having been at the appointment, I can tell you that she is acrobatic. We got to see her yawn and stretch. Love her already!

No Butcher, but a Baker and Pie Maker!

On Thanksgiving day I was so proud. Amelia made the best rolls ever. That picture is on someone else's camera. I will try to get it. Really, the best. I did get a picture of Allison's pies. There were actually 4 pies but I got a picture of 2 pecan pies and a cranberry pie that was really good. A roll maker and a pie maker, are we lucky or what? Oh and Amelia doubles as the gravy maker, following in the tradition taught to her by her Uncle Bob. It was a good day.
