Deck The Halls

We had a busy day yesterday as we went to get the Christmas tree, put out the decorations, and had our Thanksgiving dinner. It was topped off by a big Georgia win over the nerds from the trade school that makes a disappointing season a little easier to swallow.

Cake

One of my favorite all time desserts is my Grandmother Sa's German chocolate cake and so I got a wild hair yesterday and decided to give it a try myself. This is my 1st attempt at a cake of any kind other than a package angel food cake and it actually turned out pretty good. Not quite as moist or pretty as Sa's, but for my first attempt I was pretty happy.

Our Little Indian

Ellie made a Thanksgiving outfit today at school.

Busted Lip

Ellie had a rough end of week and weekend last weekend. It started with a sinus infection on Wed. with a fever of 103, and lasted thru the weekend where she fell on a sidewalk and scraped her face and busted her lip. Tonight is the first night that she hasn't been fussy in a week. It's nice to have our sweet Ellie back and the lip and face have already healed. Looking forward to getting the Christmas decorations up this weekend.

 

Birthday Tailgate

It was a great fall day in Athens on Saturday which was made even better by celebrating Dad's birthday with a big win. The tailgate was fun and after a disappointing season it sure will be nice going back to work Monday sporting my Georgia scrub hat. Also able to stop by and see Mimi on the way home.
