Annual Greenway Candy Cane Bread!
I just made the Greenway candy cane bread. Traditionally my mother would make enough to feed 6 kids plus herself and my dad, plus 2 more. So I halved the recipe because I didn't need to feed a small country, and made 2 candy cane breads. Best part?? Well I'm not a fan of the "traditional" filling which contained pineapple, brown sugar, and raisins. So I made up my own filling which consists of red raspberry jam, brown sugar, orange zest and orange juice. It is delectable.

It's begining to look alot like Christmas!!!
Anyone who knows anything about me knows I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas. So here is a sampling of a few of my decorations.
Last years wreath.... |
With a few new embellishments!! |
We bought an electric fireplace this year so I had to decorate that!!! |
Finished product! |
One of MANY nativities(hint: if you ever want to get me something for Christmas, a Nativity is a good bet)! |
Two angels and a Santa I inherited from my grandmother. |
The boys with Santa! We cheated and Kyle took this standing outside the "Santa zone" with MY camera!! |
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
Thanksgiving...ish...
This year we had Thanksgiving at Gina and Jason's house. Turkey and all the trimmings. That also included a rousing game of MW3...as you can see Gina is just THRIIILLED.
The day after Thanksgiving was a bit better. Because it was Friday we went to their house and played some games. But instead of playing MW3, Kyle and Jason let the boys look through the scope of his real gun, as opposed to the fake one that killed Kyle so many times.
Jason and Kyle intent on the game.... |
Sadly though (and weirdly enough) Kyle's military training and intent concentration did not save him from being slaughtered around a dozen times... |
Andrew trying to look through the scope...didn't quite get it though. |
Gavin closes both eyes while looking through a scope...he's just that good. |
HOOORAY!!!
For those of you who don't know. This is my second blog. My husband was deleting things on the computer about a week ago and deleted my blog. So Here I am again!!! I know ya'll missed me!
