Me too! Me too! Hicktionary's Talk to me Tuesday

YAY!!! This is the first week I get to participate in Hicktionary's http://601hicksfamily.blogspot.com/ Talk to me Tuesday!

This week the question is:

What are you looking forward to this Chirstmas Season?

This is Mark and I's first Christmas together, So I am looking forward to sharing Christmas with him and learning how his family spends the holiday. I am also looking forward to starting our own traditions that we can someday share with our children. And as always I look forward to spending time with my family and sharing our traditions with Mark this year.

Cows in a blanket?

I had some extra philo dough let over from my failed thanksgiving brie, so I searched for some recipes and found these. They arent called cows in a blanket but thats what they are and I liked the name.


Cooked some mini ranch burgers the FH loves them.

wrapped them in philo dough and added some cheese and baked.

Here is the inside they are GOOD! I will deffinitly make them again.

Turducken and Apples to Apples

Thanksgiving this year was low key just mom, ziek, adam, mark and I. No jes :(We decided to to try truducken this year for something different, and it was realy good. I also was feeling domestic and made green bean casserolle and attempted to make a bri appetizer.


bird bird bird ..bird is the wordIt was an oddly shaped thing.

Here you can see the different birds and it came with stuffing and rice already in it. Both of which were surprisingly good.

Here was my attemped at a pastry wrapped brie but i didnt use the right kind of brie so it didnt taste very good.

The FH and I

She LOVES when I take her picture without her knowing it

The Ziek


Also Si got her christmas present early her party dress Oh how I miss her

Felt like cooking

Felt like cooking yesterday found a reciepe for Pumpkin butterscotch cookies. THey turned out quite good despite not having and baking powder and putting the vanilla in the wrong bowl . I also added white chocolate chips because my FH (future hubby) loves them.

My whoops moment thats the vanilla in the dry ingrediants didnt seem to hurt anything though

I want to turn this in to a muffin recipe it tasted alot like perkins pumkin muffins which I love. I think they would also be good without the chips and a cream cheese frosting.

not a great picture but they were good.

I think the kittens are here to stay

Well the kittens were supposed to have found homes by now but they are so hard to let go. Mark and I got a bed in the barn made up for them this weekend. THis little guy or girl wanted to follow Mark around so here was our solution. In Mark's Pocket!

The Kitty is over it and wants out I think thats Juan pooping in the background opps!

Time for a drink even the babies are in there for some

Pumkin, baby, baby, baby, Juan

so cute the babies were thirsty

Shooting on Thanksgiving

Mark and I spent our Thanksgiving around the house. We are meeting up with the families later in the weekend. We spent the day tackling the kitties and shooting the guns.

Mark needed to sight in his 12g and I wanted to learn to shoot his handgun. It was fun I am glad i know how to use it now if i need to .

Mark putting the target out

Oh ditch tree Oh ditch tree

Got out ditch tree christmas tree up yesterday its very charlie brown christmas. Its out first tree together and neither of us have christmas decorations. So there is our tree for now pretty sad but its kinda sweet.
