Where have I been?

Wow! This week just flew by, didn't it? I've been so busy! I pretty much cancelled everything I had planned for today, just so I could have a break. And it has been so nice! Jake and I made some cookies yesterday for cub scouts. He was so cute, and such a great helper. He even cracked an egg, right into the bowl, and didn't even get any shells in it. What a genius! (lol) Can I just say that I love my KitchenAid? I got it last year for Christmas, and haven't used it much, but I love it when I do. I love that I can throw stuff in the bowl, turn it on, and walk away for a minute. Then you come back and voila, it's mixed. You don't even have to scrape the sides of the bowl, but I still do anyway.

The kids got some early Christmas presents last night. Mom and Dad are going to Nebraska for Christmas, and so they brought over our presents last night. Mom wanted to watch the kids open something, so they got to open 1 gift. They each got a monogrammed towel, a book, and a shirt. They loved it! And I love that they each have their own towels, now. Thanks Mom & Dad!

And one last thing. We finally got our custom made, log furniture for our bedroom. Cory did some insulation for a Mennonite family in Elko, who happen to make this beautiful stuff. We were lucky enough to trade some of the cost for some furniture. We've actually been waiting for it for over a year. And they brought it up today. I absolutely love it, especially the dresser. I'm still trying to get used to the bed, though. It looks like it was built for Hagrid. It is SO big. But I still like it. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
