This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook.

It was a blast and the kids loved seeing Nanny and yelling her name across the autitorium. We had so much fun hangin with Aaron's brother and his wife and kiddos...Malachi and Rachel love them. And then you'll see some sweet photo's of our newest close friends, our neighbors Tyler, Erin and their son Tanner who we get to have over off and on and went to his 3rd birthday party. Well, Malachi and I went alone to Tanner's party! You'll also see our fun day of crafts making Valentines cards for daddy...and Uncle Brian.
